You can use a combination of items/components for this.
If you use IBO it's easiest.
BDS components have a nice user list component.
You do need to use the IBO IB_Session1.GetISC4Path function to acquire the
path of the security database.
You would benefit from modifications to security.fdb to allow users the
ability to change their own password. see Helen's Book
Here's a summary anyway
