The "change password" feature does not work as expected after you install ISA Server 2006 Service Pack 1 or if you use Microsoft Threat Management Gateway 2010

Symptoms

After you apply Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server Service Pack 1 (SP1) or if you use Microsoft Forefront Threat Management Gateway (TMG) 2010, you may notice that the "change password" feature does not work as expected. 

For example, in Active Directory settings, you enable the "User must change password at next logon" setting for a certain user account. However, when the user tries to log on by using forms-based authentication (FBA) when the "change password" feature is enabled in ISA Server or TMG Server, the user is not automatically redirected to the form that is used to change the password.

Cause

This problem occurs when FBA is used together with Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). In ISA Server 2006 SP1, the default behavior was changed when you use FBA together with LDAP. This change was made to help guard against authentication attacks.

   If Not WScript.Arguments.Named.Exists("WebListener") Then
       WScript.Echo "WebListener not defined"
       WScript.Quit(1)
   End If
   
   Set fpcRoot = CreateObject("FPC.Root")
   Set fpcArray = fpcRoot.GetContainingArray()
   Set fpcWebListener = fpcArray.RuleElements.WebListeners(WScript.Arguments.Named("WebListener"))
   Set fpcWebListenerVps = fpcWebListener.VendorParametersSets
   
   On Error Resume Next
   Set fpcCookieAuthVps = fpcWebListenerVps.Item("{29022EBA-B030-4839-9CA6-DD8875BC7B47}")
   If Err.number = 0 Then
       CookieAuthVpsExists = True
   Else
       CookieAuthVpsExists = False
   End If
   Err.Clear
   On Error GoTo 0
   
   If Not CookieAuthVpsExists Then
       WScript.Echo "Cookie auth VPS settings not defined, hotfix 957859 disabled"
   Else
       On Error Resume Next
       WScript.Echo "EnableLDAPPasswordExpiration: " & (fpcCookieAuthVps.Value("EnableLDAPPasswordExpiration") = True)
   End If

           Set fpcCookieAuthVps = fpcWebListenerVps.Add("{29022EBA-B030-4839-9CA6-DD8875BC7B47}")
       End If
       fpcCookieAuthVps.Value("EnableLDAPPasswordExpiration") = (StrComp(WScript.Arguments.Named("Value"), "True", 1) = 0)
       fpcArray.Save
       WScript.Echo "EnableLDAPPasswordExpiration set to " & (fpcCookieAuthVps.Value("EnableLDAPPasswordExpiration") = True)
   End If 
   

4. Save this Notepad file by using the .vbs file name extension. For example, use the following name to save this file:

   EnableHotfix957859.vbs

5. Open a command prompt, move to the location where you saved the EnableHotfix957859.vbs file, and then type the following command:

   Cscript EnableHotfix957859.vbs /webListener:<listener name> /Value:trueNote In this command, replace <listener name> with the actual name of the Web listener.

Important: If you want to remove hotfix 959357, open a command prompt, browse to the location where you saved the EnableHotfix957859.vbs file, and then type the following command: 

Cscript EnableHotfix957859.vbs /webListener:<listener name> /Value:false

Note In this command, replace <listener name> with the actual name of the Web listener.

Status

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
