Automatically change AD User's password hourly

Hi
I was wonder if there was a script or some kind of way which could reset a specific user's password every hour and save the password to a .txt file or maybe to a SQL table? I found one program however it emails the password rather than saving it to a file
(and isn't free). I am using the NPS RADIUS server role and would like guests to have temporary access without having to create and delete an account every time (or have a static password allowing them to rejoin the network if they return).
Thanks :)

Hello,
I just have an idea about this.
Save all the passwords you want in a text file and give full control access to your own user and remove the rest of the ACL entries except Domain Admins.
Create a Powershell script to reset user password. This Powershell script reads the new passwords from the text file and will delete the newly assigned password from the text file. In that case your text file will be fresh with unused passwords.
Run the Powershell script as schedule task on hourly basis with your own user.

  • How to change SSO user's password: Get LDAP URL

    Hi,
    I would like to add a 'change user SSO password' form to my BC4J application. The form's submit button fires an action that calls a PL/SQL package. This package receives 7 parameters, and uses de dbms_ldap package to change the user's password.
    Parameters:
    - LDAP Host
    - LDAP Port
    - User DN
    - SSO Username
    - Old Password
    - New Password
    - Retyped New Password (for confirmation)
    I'm trying with a DataForwardAction event whose purpose is to get the user's account information and the LDAP location, but I can't get the LDAP Location (ClassCastException) and the SSOUsername (NullPointerException).
    I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.2.0.0 (Build 1811)
    My question is: ¿What am I doing wrong? ¿Is there any easier way to do this?
    The code is below:
    import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
    import oracle.adf.controller.struts.actions.DataActionContext;
    import oracle.adf.controller.struts.actions.DataForwardAction;
    import oracle.security.jazn.JAZNConfig;
    import oracle.security.jazn.spi.ldap.LDAPJAZNProvider;
    public class ChgPwdAction extends DataForwardAction
      public void onChange(DataActionContext ctx) throws Exception
        HttpServletRequest request = ctx.getHttpServletRequest();
        String host                = null;
        String port                = null;
        String userDN              = null;
        String SSOUsername         = null;
        String oldPwd              = null;
        String newPwd              = null;
        String confirmNewPwd       = null;
        try
          LDAPJAZNProvider ldapProvider = (LDAPJAZNProvider)JAZNConfig.getJAZNConfig().getJAZNProvider();
          host = ldapProvider.getJAZNConfig().getLocationURL().getHost();
          port = "" + ldapProvider.getJAZNConfig().getLocationURL().getPort();
        catch (ClassCastException e)
          //System.out.println(e);
          throw new Exception("Missing LDAP location");
        try
          userDN = request.getHeader("Osso-User-Dn");
        catch (NullPointerException e)
          //System.out.println(e);
          throw new Exception("Missing User DN.");
        SSOUsername   = request.getRemoteUser();

    }Thanks in advance.

    Hi again,
    First of all, thanks for your reply.
    Yes, I know I can use JNDI instead of a call to a PL/SQL package (I visited this link: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=592611&start=0 that explains how to do it), but in both cases I have the same problem: I don't know if it's possible to get the LDAP's environment specifications (PROVIDER_URL, SECURITY_PROTOCOL) dynamically.
    Our production environment's LDAP is not the same as our development environment's LDAP. This is why I want to get this information dynamically.
    I think that this information is stored in the jazn.xml file: Is there any way to get this information?
    Thanks a lot.

  • How can I Change a User's password remotely

    Hi all
    I setup an iChat Server. I need to allow the users the ability to change their password without physically accessing the server (including via Remote Managment)
    Thow some iChat(jabber) Clients support changing the password, the iChat Server does not appear to have this option.
    Is there any way to remotely change a user's password ?
    A possible solution would be to setup a Webpage allowing the user to logon and change the Password.
    Is there any web managment tool on OS X Server for this ?
    Any other sugestions?
    Thanks,
    Best regards

    This is getting depressing. I've just speand most of a day getting the OID to support ldaps SSL protocol, since I read that a number of active directory services only allow password change if the connection is encrypted. Finally got my ldaps connection, but the NoPermissionException is still there. The user I'm signing on as is definitely has user security management permissions. I can't seem to modify attributes at all. I added my own optional attribute to the schema, but JNDI can't set it.
    Perhaps the oracle LDAP library in jpdk might help, but I'm not hopeful. If I could find any API documentation I might be more moved to try, but I see no setPassword methods in the relavant classes. This just looks like a fairly thin wrapper for JNDI anyway.
    Does anyone know where the API doc for oracle.ldap.* is? Has anyone got a password to change other than by the SSO's built in change password dialog?
    I'm not hopeful. On these boards I've found many questions along these lines but, thus far, no answers.

  • How to change a users login password via single user mode, plus multiple issues?

    So, there is much to this Thread.
    (First Issue)
    A lil back ground, i'm working on a MacBook Pro 3,1 running OS X Tiger 10.4.(something, no idea), the The user has forgotten their account password. Now before you tell me to just change it through the Root Admin account, that account seems to have its own issues, the accounts do not show up in the system preferences, therefore not allowing me to change that users account password.
    (Second Issue)
    Once I'm able to login into the users account, is there any way to disable / erase / eradicate the key chain system?
    (Third Issue)
    All of a sudden the MacBook has lost all audio capability, both in the built in speakers and through the headphone jack.
    i'm open to any ideas, its currently 10:14am the user is wanting this to be done by 2:45pm please help i'm desperate and i don't want to be defeated by a Mac

    It's possible some of these things are related. I'd first do a basic verification of the computer's system.
    First, if at all possible make a backup of the drive in its present configuration. If something goes wrong during repair attempts and makes things worse you will have a backup. You will have to decide how to work this in the light of any present backups you may have, for example, a backup that may be a few days out of date. In that case you may want to keep that one and make a second backup of this as they are now, though I realize people often don't have a lot of empty drives sitting around.
    Boot from the System installer disc that came with your computer or is the one for the version you currently have on there, select language if applicable, choose utilities, run Disk Utility and verify (and repair if necessary) the drive. You can verify a drive from DU on your main drive while booted but I have found this can result in incorrect reporting of errors. To repair your drive you have to run it from a drive other than the boot drive anyway.
    Next, boot from your drive in [Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393] and repair permissions. You can repair permissions while booted from the installer disc but this uses the permissions configuration on the installer disc which may be out of date if you have run any updates on your computer. Booting your computer to Safe Mode restricts the number of things running on your computer while permissions are being run and does a bit of spring cleaning at the same time.

  • What changing of user's password can affect?

    Hello everybody,
    I would like to change my user's password (which is also the administrator account) which I use to access my Mac. But I have several questions regarding it:
    What services will changed password actually affect? (Keychain, etc.?)
    What interests me the most is will it affect my encryption password? I mean passphrase which is used to unlock my encrypted storage? Or access password and encryption passphrase are separated from each other? As I know, passphrase is actually encrypted password for access. But I am not pretty sure in this statement.
    And one question regarding passphrase for the encrypted storage. Can I store it to the Apple servers if I did not do it when I was establishing encryption of my storage? I remember that this option was offered by the system.
    Thank you in advance.

    mende1,
    Thank you for the quick response.
    Just will bring some clearness. By "passphrase" I meant "recovery key" which is provided by FileVault. So as you mentioned, it should not bring any changes to my recovery key. I just thought that login password and recovery key is something related to each other, as after user enters a password, then storage gets "unencrypted" in the sense that user can cooperate with it as long as user is logged into the system.
    Summing it up, it turns out that recovery key is established only once and is not get changed by any changing of any system-related password? (Except for the case when FileVault has been disabled and then enabled once again. So by doing this user will get new recovery key.)
    mende1 wrote:
    Apple allowed you to store your recovery password in their servers. You can check if you can do it now in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > FileVault, but it's quite possible that it will not allow you to do it
    I have tried it, but you are right. It does not have any option to store encryption key to the Apple's servers.

  • Can't Change a User's Password - "Reset Password" is Grayed Out

    I'm trying to reset a user account in OS X 10.4.11 on a MacBook. I am the administrator and am logged in as such.
    I have gone into System Preferences > Accounts and clicked the unlock icon, put in my admin password, and selected the other user from the list on the left (the other user is listed under "Other Accounts").
    But the "Reset Password" button is simply greyed out, I can't select it. Any idea what I can do here?

  • How can i set automatic change of user status(for WBS)?

    Hi,

    I have Compressor 4 already, defined an own parameter set there (with 1024x680 resolution) but this was not displayed as an option in FCP X. I want to produce my resolution directly from FCP X, not produce it in another resolution and then convert it via Compressor. Let alone the fact that non of the FCP-included resolutions has a width-to-height ratio of 3:2 like mine. The solution would be to know where FCP stores its presets and to be able to modify them or add new presets.

  • Changing a portal user's password programatically

    Hi,
    I'm attempting to reset a user's password, and so far i got it to work once using:
    update wwsec_person$
    set password = wwsso_utl.hash_pwd('PASSWORD')
    where user_name='USER'
    after running that statement and committing, the password seemed to change, but then it apparently hasn't worked ever since. Does anyone have any idea how to change a user's password programmatically? there's plenty of threads, but all they all seem to be out dated (ie. portal 3.x) I'm using portal 10.1.4

    I had to change a users extension and she is not able to connect to historical reports.  I keep getting an error message that her user id or password is incorrect.  Checked user id which is correct and user is using the same password she used before the change.  Is there a way i can reset the password the user enters to log into historical reports?

    If you are not integrated with an external LDAP, you change the user's password in CUCM End User configuration; otherwise, the passwords can be managed in LDAP.

  • What is the user and password to Oracle 8.17

    Dear expert,
    I have loaded IDES 4.7 with Oracle 8.17.
    I wish to query the SAP table using Oracle PL/SQL.
    What is the user, password and string to login into SAP Oracle database? Since I was not asked for user and password when installing Oracle I do not know how to login.
    Also can you let me know how to view/change table fields in SAP tables. I understand there are different ways but which in your opinion is the easiest to find the record I want to correct(as some tables have many fields).
    Your kind assistance is appreciated.

    Thank you for your reply. Both the user and password does not work on my IDES 4.7e system.
    However I tried with user Internal and without password and I successfully login.
    I then create a new user and also change the user=system
    password.

  • Changing legacy iMac ID/password

    I have asked this question before and have never received a solution.
    I bought my late 2009 21.5 inch iMac in June 2010. I registered the computer with Apple with the now obsolete [email protected] email address and a password that I cannot remember.
    My service provider has changed and I can operate everything other than my System Preferences iCloud Account which still carries legacy ID [email protected] id. All the ID and passwords applicable to the Mac Appstore and Itunes operate normally.
    Because of the obsolete ID email address, Photostream will not work – iPhoto has a folder named Photostream with 96 photographs but these are never uploaded to iCloud.
    I went the route of using an install DVD and changed the computer password but there is no way of using this route to change the ID. I have today down loaded Mountain Lion 10.8.3 in the hopes the legacy ID will have been lost. Not a chance.
    There must be someone in Apple who can help me access my iCloud account to replace the legacy ID? Who, for goodness sake, who? I am sick of traversing the Apple help sites looking for anwsers and finding none.

    I beleive the legacy is referring to the old mac address & password. Follow these steps to see if you are able to correct Boot system holding down Command key & S key this will take you to it's Terminal interface you will do all of the following on this screen of program language •need to check filesystem first will be (fsck -fy) next you must •mount the root drive as writeable so that it will save changes (mount -uw /) •Now, type the following command exactly, followed by enter key: rm /var/db/ .applesetupdone hit enter key then type :/ root# rm /var/db/.applesetupdone hit enter then type reboot hit enter......Upon reboot you will be presented with traditional "Welcome Wizard" startup screen just like when you get a new MacMake sure you use new user account name & designate as Administrator, no go to system preferences click on user accounts icon click on the lock in bottom left corner of accounts preferences window, click on user account & Click on Reset Password, this will enable you to change other user accounts & passwords as well. Close system preferences & reboot Mac should run without any further hangups, good luck. Just did this to mine yesterday because didn't have a system disk to use downside to no hard copy of OS Mt. Lion.

  • If I change the password for my icloud account will it also change my apple ID password?

    the two passwords are the same now - If I change my icloud password does that automatically change my apple ID password or do I have to change it seperately?

    If you change the password for your iCloud ID, you have to change it on any services you use the ID for on your device.  If you use the same ID for purchasing, go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in using your new password.  If you use it for iMessage, do the same thing in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive.  If you use it for FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
    To change it for iCloud, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in using your new password.  When you delete the account it only deletes the account and your synced data from yor iPad, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your iPad when you sign back in.

  • Automatically change the password and block user

    Hi experts,
    I have a strange problem, I have start the part java, but, when takes some time, AUTOMATICALLY change the password J2EE_ADMIN and SAPJSF and block the user SAPJSF, so, it doesn´t work the portal and i have to change the password and unlock the SAPJSF, why?
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,

    Hi Victor,
    you may create another communication user as a copy of SAPJSF but having a different name. Use only the newly created user and block SAPJSF. The application that changes his password will lock an exception somewhere - either on ABAP side or on J2EE side.
