Password request after changing domain password

M

Marco De Vitis

Hi,
I have some users on WinXP clients in a LAN where authentication happens
on a central server which manages the LAN domain.

Users are forced to change their domain password every 6 months, and
each time they do it Outlook asks them once again for ALL their stored
passwords; e.g. a user has an IMAP password, a POP one and a SMTP one,
stored in Outlook since months, but Outlook asks them all again the
first time those accounts are used after changing the domain password,
even though those three passwords have NOT changed.

Why does this happen? Is there a way to prevent it?

Besides being pointless (those passwords do never change), it is very
annoying, because I'm the only one knowing some of those passwords and
others are not allowed to know them, I set them in their clients and
then "it simply works", but this annoyance forces me to be around when
they change their domain password so that I can enter the passwords again.

Thanks for any infos.
