Recommendations for manging user password

[thekat]

Alan..
Thx for the reply.. after some chatting with the developers..

We already have an Oracle instance in place for the
User /Passwd..
If we can use Oracle to talk "PAP" to FirePass this puts all
the user management back on the already set up Oracle instance..

I will post back..

Much Thanks

Charles
