How to allow non-admin users change their passwords

Issue:

Regular users (those without ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR) cannot change their own password by default. A superuser or jasperadmin of the organization has to change password for non-admin users.

Resolution:

If you want to allow non-admin users to change their own passwords, there is a property in /WEB-INF/jasperserver-servlet.xml called allowUserPasswordChange. Change this setting to value="true" and restart the server.

<property name="allowUserPasswordChange" value="false"/>
<!--note: if passwordExpirationInDays is positive, it will overwrite the above allowUserPasswordChange and the password changing UI will be displayed-->
<property name="passwordExpirationInDays" value="0"/>

You will have access to the password change form below the login form as link "Change Password".
