New PennKey Password-Changing Tool Introduced

November 4, 2004 :: Melissa Muth, ISC Networking & Telecommunications

Penn's Information Systems & Computing division has developed a web-based application which PennKey holders can use to change a known PennKey password. The application is linked from the PennKey site:

Previously, known passwords could be changed only using Kerberos ticket manager client software like Leash or Kerberos for Mac. While the ticket manager software remains the preferred method for changing a known PennKey password, this new web-based method will make it possible for users to change a known PennKey password without installing any software on their desktop.
