OD users resetting their own passwords

Looking for a mechanism whereby OD users can reset their own passwords--specifically users without workstation access.
I am deploying a lot of blog/wiki services to clients. Am finding that I have to generate random passwords for them--would rather push them a temp pw & let them reset on first wiki login, as I can with workstation users.
Any help appreciated.

And you can set the password lifetime and reset and character-content policies in Server Admin > Open Directory > Policies > Passwords, if you've not already found that set of knobs.
I'd also suggest looking to two-factor or certificate-based approaches, if you're having requirements around password resets.

Enable portal users to reset their own password

Dear Forum,
I want our users to be able to reset their own password in our portal solution (NW7.01). I tried to add "pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/general/com.sap.portal.eu_role" but it gives too many options, users should not be able to change their name only password. I thought about changing UME parameters "UME Manage_My_Password
UME Manage_My_Profile" But I am in doubt where to change this in VA. I guess some security settings also apply (lenght, digits, capital letters etc) which should be in the security tab?
I hope someone can elaborate.
Thanks in advance,
Kind Regards,
Soren

Hi Manoj,
UME parameters are in visual admin of the java stack - not sure if this was what you were asking. i was hoping that there was a parameter I could set which would apply a additional button on login screen where you could reset your password, or maybe do it from the portal / personal settings yourself.
I am not much into programming web dynpro tools, so I think ill try to see if I could find a way to enable "forgot your password?" on the login page where you can mail a new password for yourself.
Thanks tho for the link, its much appreciated!
Kind Regards,
Soren

Allowing user to reset their own password in BOXI3 SP3

Is there (a new) possibility to have users reset theri own password in BOXI3.1 SP3
Thansk for any help

I have to refrase my question, I am looking for the possibility to let the USER ask for a new password in case of "password forgotten" (The user is NOT logged on yet)
He/she should then ask via a link for an new password without bothering the BO-user-administration.
This functionality is found on many websites, so I thought : there should be a possibility WITHIN SAB/BO
On BOB I found a document named "Self-Serve Documentation.doc";, may be ther is a easier way ??

Account Operators couldn't reset their own passwords

We have new admin accounts created for the L1 admins and they're supposed to have the ability to unlock accounts, reset user passwords, create, delete and modify groups and membership, manage print servers and add/remove computers to domain.
These admin accounts are part of Account Operators, Print Operators and another security group (delegated in OU level for managing the workstations in the domain like adding/removing).
We're using Windows 2012 R2 Standard.
The issue is the new admin accounts have the ability to perform all their tasks other than resetting their own passwords. Appreciate your response on this as this is creepy and lingering for a week and still couldn't figure out the cause.

They can change their own passwords, but they can't reset them. It's a limitation of the group.
By default, that ability to reset (not change) a password, is reserved for the administrators group or a group delegated with the ability.

Users changing their own passwords

we have set up an Open Directory and are going through the steps to deploy. One issue we have yet to find an elegant solution to is user's passwords and changing them on a regular basis. Many of the contracts we deal with stipulate user passwords are to be changed every 45 days.
Now - there is no way we want our users monkeying around in Workgroup Manger changing their own passwords - and the last thing we on the IT team want to do is perform data entry tasks every couple of months to change everyone's password. Plus - for security reasons - this is a terrible idea.
so - is there an easy way to have a user update their password without going through Workgroup Manager?
thanks

User Resetting his own password

Is there a possibility in SAP to allow a user to reset his password?

I think you should contact google to find out why they are not letting you search? That is very rude of them to pick on you...
Or try a different search engine?

Is there a way to prevent an end-user from changing their own password?

All you guru's out there, I need your help. Is there a way to prevent an end-user from changing their own password? Is there a function or procedure I can create or what?

In this case, you do not want someone (whoever they are DBA etc) to connect as that
particuler user to change the password.Yes, but I wouldn't expect the users to[i] know that password. The connnect would be handled automatically, behind the scenes.
The clear implication of the OP's question and response was that users would not be allowed to change their own passwords. I'm guessing this is in response to a policy that says users mustn't have simple passwords like 123abc or mom. In such a scenario a better approach would be to apply regexp to a user's password to ensure it contains a mix of letters, numbers, punctuation, etc to achieve the desired level of complexity.
So questions, should not be regarded as daft Agreed, but the same is unfortunately not always true of business decisions. As the OP has told us not to ask we cannot know why they want to do this. Personally, I think a user's individual password should always be their responsibility; anything else strikes me as insecure. YMMV.

User's changing their own password

Is it possible to allow user to change their own password when logged onto a portal applicastion I have written ?

Presumably, the application you say you have written, is a Login Server partner application. So changing the user's password means changing it on the login server.
The URL that you need to go to, to do this, is something like: http://server.domain.com/pls/portal30_sso/portal30_sso.wwsso_app_user_mgr.change_password?p_done_url=xxxxx
Where xxxxx is the URL where you want control to go after the user submits their new password.

We have multiple devices in our family. On each iPad/iPhone each user has their own apple id for iMessage, Facetime and icloud, but we all sign in to the same apple id for itunes. When one of my kids comments on my shared photostream, it shows my name??

CREATE A NEW USER
Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Users & Groups
Decide on whether to setup as Admin or Standard User.
Switch to the New User by logging out under the Apple in the Menu Bar or use Fast User Switching
Fast User Switching allows other users to leave current applications and windows open. Depending on RAM, you might need to log out rather than use FUS.

Users marking their own responses as correct?

What is the deal with Users marking their own responses as correct?
I go under the assumption that if something is marked as Answered, it means that I've SEEN THE ANSWER.
If someone other than ME marks MY question as ANSWERED, it drops off my Radar.
Very, very dysfunctional. I track UNANSWERED question!
PLEASE STOP IT!

Hi Matthew
First, capitalizing is really not needed. I do understand your frustration, but honestly...
Now, I will come clean and admit that on occasion, in my role as a moderator and editor of SCN, I have marked posts as answered. This will usually happen if I see that the post is a number of days old without a response to what I believe (OK, know) was the correct answer. I do this for a few reasons:
1) Many OPs do not mark their posts as answered. Would be nice if they did...
2) Many OPs make the answer as "Helpful", even though it is DE answer. I will then change this to answered.
3) Posts marked as answered are much more likely to be looked at than abandoned post with no further feedback as to the posted answers being correct or not.
4) Marked posts make it obvious that these forums are active and do provide answers consistently.
I could go on, but I hope I get my view across(?).
Oh. BTW., I may mark my own replies as "Answered" . It is not something I do to gain points. For one, I do not get points for marking my replies as "Answered" (it the way SCN works). For two, I really do not care about the number of points I get. I do not get measured on it and there is just nothing in it for me. Other than keeping the forums alive, vibrant and well.

List all users and their own roles.

Hi everybody!
I have to make a list of all sap users and their own separated roles by user. There are any transaction to do it? The SUIM transaction gives me a sap user and their own roles, but if I try with a lot users It gives me all the roles that are using those users but don't give me the roles for each one.
Thanks a lot.
Best regards.

Hi Reynaldo,
You can go to SE16 -> table name "AGR_USERS" and see the records for all users. Arrange them in ascending order by name and you will get the report what you have mention above.
Download it and put it in EXCEL.
Best Wishes.

Fleet phones: Why must each user have their own App Store account?

I've purchased roughly 25 iPhones for my employees and am trying to lumber through the tedious process of managing these as fleet assets. There are a handful of mission-critical apps I'd like to deploy. I've signed up with an MDM platform (Bushel). I've enrolled in both of Apple's fleet programs (VPP and DEP). And, still, I'm running into precisely the obstacle I'm needing to get around: the requirement that every user has their own individual App Store account, with a Credit Card number on file, etc.
Why must this be? These are company-owned phones. Most of my employees are unionized and, quite frankly, the union is none too happy about the nature of the apps I'm deploying (which have to do with GPS tracking and time/attendance). I simply cannot require my union employees to sign up for an account in their names and require a credit card number.
Even lowly Blackberry figured this out a long time ago. If Apple is going after more fleet business, they need to become more fleet friendly.

I did some searches before my post, but actually found some things AFTER I made my post that sounded encouraging. If I understand correctly, we should be able to continue sharing the AppleID we use to buy apps and music on all of our devices. We can configure our personal devices and computers to use separate personal iCloud accounts, but somehow share the music and apps with each other. I guess I'm still not clear on how it'll work. :-)

How to enable ebs users to change their own passwords.

Hi,
Is there any profile option which will enable the users to change their passwords on their own from EBS front-end applications...?

Can I stop my users resetting their iPad?

Hi All,
Im an IT administrator and Im looking at rolling out 500+ iPads into our corportate environment. Is there a way I can prevent my users from resetting their iPad back to factory settings thru the SETTINGS icon > reset. Ideally I would like to password protect the SETTINGS icon/section. What are my chances? Can this type of stuff be written as an app? Cheers

Obviously, you live in the Windows world. Seriously, don't worry about it. Even if they do so, it's kind of easy to restore. Just tell them not to do it. Most people are pretty mature about these things. And yes, I know what I'm talking about, I ran a company where we gave out Tablet PC's to sales reps to take orders. No one messed them up.
