QUESTION POSED ON: 14 October 2003
I want to create a user who can not change his password.

EXPERT RESPONSE
Unfortunately, all users have the ability to change their own password. One of the ways to get around this is to implement a password verification function that will always fail, no matter what the password. Then assign this password verification function to that user.

Keep in mind that in today's ever-increasing need for secure databases, that passwords should be changed on a regular basis. Disabling password changing for a user is probably not a very good idea.
