Change password funtionality

[Ryan Lim]

Hi Nicolas,

I don't think this answers your questions or addresses the way you  
want to change the password, but what we've done here (at https://accounts.answers4families.org/) 
  is to create a separate application that takes care of user account  
information changes (name, email, password, etc.). This way, we kept  
our CAS installation dedicated just to handle logins while using  
separate apps for other functionalities.

Regards,
- ryan
