password

We have a signon script that requires a Windows password in order to access and validate against the SAS metadata server.

The problem is that if the windows password is changed, and the script is run a few without being updated, then the user gets locked out and has to call IT support for a password reset.

What is the simplest way of using Base SAS to validate a windows password? ie to enable a warning to the user if the password provided is not valid...

EDIT:

The concern is not whether or not this SHOULD be done, only HOW it could be done!
