Changing Passwords

Good Morning!
 
All "regular users" on my Tru64 5.1A servers use thin clients that
connect to applications and databases residing on our servers. They
only need accounts to make connections with their thin client
applications and never actually log on to the servers to do anything. I
have disabled telnet on the servers and replaced it with SSH and have
purchased clients for my System's Admins to use for their day to day
administration. My problem is that the regular users have no easy way
of changing their Unix account passwords. Is there any utility available
that will allow my users to change their passwords through a (preferably
secure) web interface so I don't have to distribute SSH clients to
everyone? Would it be difficult to write an applet in Java or c to
handle this?
 
TIA for any suggestions you may have.
 
Regards,
 
Ralf
