Password Reset option in DWC (like older versions)

Hello IBM Team, 

Since 9.5 DWC don't have the option to update the password (reset/change) . This is creating big problem . 

Can we have any utility or option in console from where users can update their password themselves.  and Admin can track the password expiration ? 

We have named user in auhentication.xml and Admin change their password periodically (unique password for all users) , then encrypt it , update in authentication_config.xml. And then share the password with each users personally . This is extra admin work in 9.5 version.  This was not required it 9.2 , users use to set their password themselves.

This is a basic functionality and having it will be very useful. 
In old TWS versions , change password option was there ,which is missing in 9.5 . Is anything done in this direction.

Idea priority High

    This feature cannot be supported because it was enabled by IBM WAS, while we use now IBM WAS Liberty. Moreover it is not considered safe for a production environment, you should be using LDAP.
