Subj:		Re: Password expiry with ODBC driver / Error Running Queries using JDBC driver

This 'hanging' can be prevented by turning 'quiet mode' on, however, it also means that the user is not able to connect and change their password. Is there a way to retrieve this expired password state and allow the user to change their password?

I understood your question as "I want to change the expired password but in "quiet mode" i.e., without having the pop-up asking new password.". Is that correct ?

If the ODBC DSN option "Run in Quiet Mode" is not selected, then whatever the ODBC API like SQLConnect/SQLDriverConnect you use, the pop-up for new password will be displayed. The only way to change password without the pop-up is, to use "PWD2=<new password>;" in the SQLDriverConnect's connection string. i.e., below is an example string

     DRIVER={Teradata};DBCNAME=<dbc name>;UID=<user name>;PWD=<current
     password>;PWD2=<new password>;

     DSN=<ODBC DSN name>;UID=<user name>;PWD=<current password>;PWD2=<new
     password>;

If the current password is expired, the ODBC driver sends the new password by itself taking from PWD2.
