settings2.csp

This page allows registered (logged on) users to change their account information.

Key parameters

The following parameters are passed explicitly to settings2.csp:

Parameter	[IN] Values	From	Description
base	<string>	settings.csp	The previous page's URL location.

The following parameters are passed explicitly from settings2.csp:

Parameter	[OUT] Values	To	Description
action	updateacctinfo	settings2.csp	The name of the action that the page has been requested to perform.
base	<string>	settings2.csp	The current page's URL location.

settings2.csp is launched from within settings.csp when the user clicks the My password link on the User Preferences page. The resulting URL looks like this:

settings2.csp?base=available%2Ecsp?pageView=subcription

The base parameter is passed into settings2.csp as part of the query string. The base parameter is used in settings2.csp to return the user to the page's "base" location; that is, it specifies the location from which the user just came from.

Like in newpwdform.csp, the user enters new account information into a form and submits it. The page is reloaded, and the action and base parameters are appended to the query string:

The following is a conditional statement in settings.csp:

If Request.QueryString.Item("action") = "updateacctinfo"

This statement ensures that if action=updateacctinfo appears in the query string, the user's old password and new password are retrieved from the form, and the old password is replaced by the new password:

oldpwd = Request.Form.Item("oldpwd")

newpwd = Request.Form.Item("newpwd")

Session("IStore").EnterpriseSession.UserInfo.SetPassword(oldpwd, newpwd)

After the account information is updated, the page is reloaded, but this time only the base parameter is passed as part of the query string, returning the user to the User Preferences page.
