The server portion of is a standard CGI program that runs on
a web server (IIS, Apache, and others) running on Windows NT4/2K/XP/2003/Vista/Win7/2008/Win8/2012/Win10.
Refer to your web server's documentation to ensure that standard CGI is enabled
for the server, and that the CGI directory has the proper execute permissions.
On IIS, make sure that the IUSR_
Note: Enabling CGI on IIS for Windows Server 2003 and later requires additional configuration.

If you are having trouble getting CGI programs to run, especially on IIS,
then you might want to search our knowledgebase
for help. Answers to the most-frequently asked questions are there.
Copy dompass.ini to the same directory as dompass.exe. Leave dompass.ini unchanged
until you are sure Domain Password is working satisfactorily, then edit to suit
your tastes. Note, you may need to add domain information per this KB article.
Add a link to dompass.exe on any page you want. For example, if your CGI directory is
CGI-BIN, add this link: <a href="/cgi-bin/dompass.exe?">Change Password</a>
To use Domain Password on any web server, you must
Note: Passwords are case-sensitive on this system. Password, PASSWORD, and password are three different passwords.
Version 1.1 (build 970302 or later) allows you to customize the entire format, as
much or as little as you want.
Domain Password is self-configuring. It will discover the name of your primary domain controller
and generate the proper HTML. You may override this by specifying a machine name on the PDC=
line in dompass.ini. Specifying a PDC also makes the program more efficient, since the lookup
can take a noticeable amount of time on some networks.
You may customize most aspects of Domain Password by editing the dompass.ini file. All of the
text, and most of the HTML, can be changed by editing this file. To make Domain Password
operate in Portuguese, for example, just replace the English text messages with the Portuguese
equivalents.
Here is the default
dompass.ini file. (It is included in the ZIP archive when you download.) All of the options are
well-documented in the INI file itself, so there's not much point in repeating the instructions
here.
By default, Domain Password looks for dompass.ini in the same directory where the
you keep dompass.exe. This is also where Domain Password will write its log file, dompass.log.
As of version 1.1.b.980925, you may change a registry setting to specify a different
directory for dompass.ini and dompass.log. This feature was added to enhance security
for servers that allow read access to all files in the CGI-BIN or SCRIPTS directory. If
you are upgrading from a previous version, Domain Password will create the registry entry
for you the first time you run Domain Password after the upgrade.
To change the directory where the config files are stored, use REGEDIT or REGEDT32 to modify
Domain Password's ConfigDir setting:
Create the directory you specified above, and put the dompass.ini file in that directory.
Use File Manager or Explorer to set the file permissions to Change for the users who
should be able to access this file. Under IIS, this is usually the group Authenticated
Users, and/or the user IUSR_machinename. Under other web servers, you will usually need
to specify the account under which the web server runs, usually LocalSystem or System.
As long as the drive and directory you specify isn't shared, this will allow Domain
Password to read the dompass.ini file and write the dompass.log file in this directory,
but not allow access in any other way.
