Clients form; Web Access page; New checkbox to "Force Client to change their Web Password the next time they sign in"

A new checkbox to "Force Client to change their Web Password the next time they sign in" has been added to the Clients form, Web Access page.

This can then be used in Portals and external applications to force the Client to change their Password. Once the password has been changed, this flag is automatically cleared.

From the business layer, the finClient.WebPasswordSet method has a new optional parameter to "clearForceChangePassword" which is True by default. Since this is the mechanism that both Portals and external applications should be using to change Client Web Password, this flag will automatically be cleared once the password is successfully changed.

NOTE: This setting does nothing other than allow a flag to be set on the Client record that other applications can use; it does not prevent the Client from signing in and, unless the other application implements specific functionality, it does not force the Client to change their password.
