title: Oracle : Can a User change his own expired password?
body: <p>I have a .Net application. The application user is a database user.</p>
  
  <p>When the database user's password expires, the user is not able to connect to the application (which is normal).</p>
  
  <p>Currently when that happens, the DBA resets the password : </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>ALTER USER user_name IDENTIFIED BY new_password;</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Is there any way that the user changes his password without asking the DBA ? knowing that the application connects using OracleDataAccess library and if the password expires, the connection is not established.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Cheers</p>
