Cannot force users to set new password

Hi I have a Intel Xserve running Server 10.5.8
My system is running DNS and is an OD master
I have approx 30 users connected to system
most are using Portable Home Directories, some are using network accounts.
It has been decreed that all users need to change their passwords and use a combination of letters, numbers and a set amount of characters.
I have set up the policy in OD for users and set it to "change password at first login" - This is NOT working on existing accounts and is NOT workig on newly created test accounts either.
I have then gone into WGM > User > Advanced - and have set up the policy for the user there also, but still is not enforcing the password change or policy.
Can anyone point me at some helpful information as to how I can overcome this problem, preferably without rebuilding the server and setting up user accounts from scratch.

you could change parameter
login/password_expiration_time
to - let's say 1 and restart all of the instances of that special system. after one day all users would have to change their passwort.
you could then reset the parameter to 0 (or to whatever value you think adequate) on all instances of the system and restart them ...
thus having forced all your users to change the password at least once.

for some users you have to use SU01 ...

Force User to enter new password

Hi all,
I would like to know if there is a way to force some of our users to enter a new password when they logon to SAP the next time?
The only way I would know is to give them a new password in SU01 and email it to them. But this would be a lot of work. We do not want to change the password settings in general, as most of our users should not be affected by this.
Does anyone know a differerent way? Maybe to set a flag in the user or a table?
Thanks for any help.
Tobi

but i can't find my data which i have saved on mac.the storage is showing data used and free space on the disk
please help me out in this matter.

How did you change your user name?
resetpassword wouldn't have done it. If you managed to create a new user, then your data is still in the old account.

Unable set new password, which contains alfabetical characters

I am connected as user sys
Other users / edit user
I fulfill new password, which contains alfabetical character and does not start with letter.
SQL Developer will develop SQL script with error SQL Error: ORA-00922
I have to fulfill new password with " brackets"
It' s not tranparent

UPDATE - I should note that this problem occurs only for the account which was automaticaly created by the custom ARD client installer. "Normal" OS X accounts behave properly when I change the password via any of the above methods.

IdM User automatically locking ABAP account after setting new password

Hi Experts
We are currently facing a problem, where it seems that the idmuser used when provisioning to ABAP is setting a value 128 (locked due to wrong logon) almost simultaneously as setting the new password on the user. I have found the information under SU01 and changes on the user account.
I cannot find anywhere in IdM that the value 128 is set to the "islocked" attribute. When provisioning new passwords, we do'nt even try to set the "islocked" attribute. We do unlocking/locking in separate tasks - and NEVER us the value 128.
Does anyone have a good explanation as to why/how this can happen?
Kind regards
Heidi Kronvold

Did you resolve this? I have a similar (though not identical) problem in that the user gets no password assigned when provisioning. Even users that already exist in that system get their password removed which effectively disables the password not allowing the user to login. I am using 100% out of the box SAP provisioning framework.

Forcing Users to set Security Questions

Hi All,
Currently when a user joins the organization, the user can go to IdM user interface, login and set security questions. But this is an option only if user wants to use self service in IdM. So, it has been found that users are not setting it and it becaomes a pain when they call help desk for password change and help desk is not able to verify the user's identity because security questions are not set.
Please share your thoughts how other organizations are handling this situation.
Is there any way that we can force a user to set security questions when the user logs in first time?
Regards,
Gaurav

Hello,
In our Organization we did the following.
Under the Security tab there is a Policy tab.
There you should find a policy called: Default Identity Manager Account Policy.
Under Secondary Authentication Policy Options make sure "Enforce Answer Policy at Login" is checked.
In page help states:
Select this option to enforce the authentication question policy when the user logs in to this interface.
This solution works however it did become problematic while we had pass-thru authentication configured.
All the best

Cannot attach User property set within a Rule set

Hi,
I cannot attach a user property set within a rule set. When i create a new
rule set in the tools it doesnt give me a field to attach a User property
set to a rule set. I dont get this.
I am using WLCS 3.2, cloudscape, WL 5.1 SP 6, Win2000.
Any help wud be greatly appreciated.

Hello Kapil,
This is a good thing. Allow me to convince you. Prior to WLCS 2.0.1 sp1,
each rule set required that a property set be associated with it. Rules in
that rule set could only use properties from that property set. You could not
write a rule that used properties from multiple property sets. Therefore, it
was impossible to combine user/group, session, and request properties in
rules. It is a good thing that you don't have to associate a property set
with the rule set anymore.

How to set new password if you don't remember old ...

Hello,
I can still login with Microsoft account, but Skype keeps rejecting my skype password. Tried to recover it using dialog box, but this doesn't work - it either, moving me rounds and rounds without possibility to set new or view old password, either proposing me to change my Facebook password though my Facebook account isn't linked to Skype. Crazy, isn't it? By the way, those security codes are totally useless in case when smallest string in Skype scripting fails.
Spend hours reading topics. Nothing that could help. I have never seen any other network, service or software wich was so uhelpful in recovering passwords and feel sorry for what I have to use Skype and not something reliable and trouble-free.
Still problem remains insolved an I have no clue how to change Skype password in accessible way.
Thank you for any helpful reply, if ever I will have some at this.. place.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

30EA3: Unable to set new password containing semicolon

Hello Forum,
I just encountered an error while trying to change my password on an Oracle 10.2.0.5 Database. I entered the command "password" in the SQL worksheet and pressed F9. I was asked to enter old and new passwords both of them containing a semicolon (";"). I just got the message "password could not be changed" (I hope I translated the message correctly from german).
SQL*Plus does accept the new password though...
I'm running SQL Developer on Windows XP SP3 with the bundled jdk (shown as 1.6.0_11) and connecting to Oracle 10.2.0.5 on Windows 2000.
The normal login does accept my new password after changing it via SQL*Plus.

Skype Not Recognizing User Name with New Password

It is for my family account with my wife. I had to reset my password because I forgot it, but once I followed the steps as provided by the skype website, skype didn't recognized my skype name. For a minute, I thought I might have forgotten the name, but I sent a text to a friend asking him what my skype name was. He sent me the information with a picture, and I had the name right. So pissed off at skype right now!

When I initially tried to sign in using my Skype name I couldn't remember my password, so I clicked on the "forgot password" link. The Skype website then redirected me asking for my Microsoft account, which I entered and then reset the password once it asked me to do so. I then went back to the Skype program with the new password and was told that the Skype name and password do not match. When this happened I attempted to sign in just using my Microsoft account, but the website kept redirecting me to a page asking me for my Skype name and password. I even tried the "Sign in using Facebook" option and that even failed because it did the same thing: requesting my Skype name and password. In otherwords, signing with my Microsoft account doesn't work because once I enter that information, it prompts me for my Skype name and password, which is does not recognize - even though the Skype name is clearly listed as mine through my friend's information. It was just turning me is circles.

Tecra A11-1EG - cannot access BIOS after setting supervisor password

Hello, I wonder if anyone can help ?
We have just started to put a supervisor password onto our Tecra A11 laptops so our pupils cannot set passwords on the hard drive etc.
To get into the BIOS and set a BIOS password, we press F2 as the machine starts.
We then go into the security option, then supervisor password.
Having entered the password we want to use twice, we press F10 to save etc.
The machine starts ok and goes in to windows without a hitch.
The problem we have now is that we cannot get back into the bios at all.
As the machine starts we press the F2 key as before but unlike previously the screen just remains blank and the 'Toshiba leading Innovation >>>' screen no longer appears.
If we keep our finger on the F" key or keep pressing it the laptop just restarts without ever getting to the BIOS screen where I assume we will get asked for the supervisor password we set earlier?
Is there another key we should be pressing as the laptop starts ?
I should add we have added a supervisor password for the BIOS security screen on three of our laptops and all three have the same issue.
Thanks
Steve

I think this should be useful for you:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB0B032D0000R01.htm
In some cases you need to press the "INS" key while Toshiba logo appears.
Then a prompt for the Supervisor Password would appear and if the password is certified then the BIOS could be entered by pressing the "F2" key.

How force new password

Hi,
one a new installed standalone cFolders 4.5 system I have added a new user (central user administration) on the ABAP AS (via SAP logon) with a initial password.
I forced to enter a new password with the following parameters in RZ10:
login/password_compliance_to_current_policy = 1
login/min_password_lng = 7
- If the user logs on to the ABAP system (SAP logon) he is asked to enter a new password (correct behavior) !
- If the same user logs on to cFolders over the web url http://url:port/cfolders/cfx_rfc_ui he is not asked to enter a new password.
How can I force to enter a new password in the web surface of cfolders by customer after setting a initial password?
Thanks and best regards, Bernd Hülsebusch
