Password reset issue for users

Ok this is driving me nuts and hopefully there is a simple answer.
I am running a new fully update 10.8 server. I have setup open directory and have profile manager running. From the server app I go into the users pane, i select a standard user (non admin) and right click to choose reset password. I enter a new password in and verify and click ok. To test this I goto the my devices page from the web and it gives me an invalid password message. I know its right. I have reset it and restarted the server to no avail. What can be going wrong here?

Sean,
I would stop every service and then lauching only:
1. DNS
2. Open Directory
3. File Sharing
and then: "last time" (hopefully) reboot of the machine.
This is to reduce the sideeffects.
After the reboot I would check the logs of all those services after the reboot and check if they writing errors into.
What is happening then?
~ Markus
P.S.: Anyway, how is your server installed? Is this server available from the internet or only in a local network?

SAPGUI - Auto password reset option for users

Hi
We currently have R3 ECC 5.0 implemented across our locations. We have very high calls registered to our support team for password reset.
we want to know whether there is a option available wherein users can select a option "Forgot password / Reset password" based on which system should auto generate the password and send the same through e-mail to the user. This will be a kind of self service for the users.

Hi Sanjay,
As far as i know that kind of option doesnt exist as an SAP standard, Maybe theres a 3rd party software around....

Can't login. Receiving password reset emails for w...

Hello,
I'm having really weird problems with my skype account [Redacted for privacy.]. I registered a new one just to post this message, because I can't log in with my original.
I checked - I have 3 emails set in my profile. I'm logged in on the Skype App. Everything I want to change requires a password, and it doesn't accept the pass, even though I have it saved (using 1pass).
When I attempt to reset my pass, I'm receiving password reset emails for users that aren't mine. I successfully changed the password for two different users, probably making them suffer the same problem as myself. Not sure how Skype picked those two users and decided they are me.
So, I'm logged in, but can't change anything, or use some skype features.
My username is [Redacted for privacy.]
SOS

I managed to fix it myself by manally entering the code instead of clicking on the reset link. This way a list with all accounts that had my email was showed and I was able to select my user from the list.
My email looks like a very popular typo.

CUP Password Reset funtionality requires users to login using password

Hi All,
CUP Password Reset is requiring users to enter user ID and password before resetting the password. Basically, if a user forgets his password, he needs to enter his password to reset it (in other words, it doesn't work).
Anyone have thoughts on how to resolve this?
I'm running GRC AC 5.3 SP12.
CUP is only password reset functionality.
No LDAP is connected.
User Master Source is SAP UME.
Authentication Source is SAP UME.
Thanks,
Pete

Why not?
You can configure CUP not to require login and use challenge response for resets.
In my opinion this is the least preferrable option, as it requires every user to register and will move support effort from resetting passwords to resetting password questions, which users tend to forget just as often.
It also leaves the possibility for imposters to register (as you don't require a login...) which allows you to reset any password if you're fast enough...
I'm sticking to my recommendation - LDAP authentication is the best option.
Frank.

Password Reset Issue in Portal

Hi All,
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Issue : We have resetted a password for one srm user in Portal. The User when he tried to login after the password reset initially it was asked to change the password. User changed the password. He is succesfully logged into the portal. Now the problem is when he tries to access a srm work item in worklist it is opening a new window and asking to reset the password again with the error message "No switch to HTTPS occurred, so it is not secure to send a password & This is an initial password that must be changed". It is not asking to change when he tries to login to portal and this error is promting only when he tries to open a work item. Because of this the user could not proceed to work further.
Can any please let me know if faced with the same error.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Viswes

Hi Viswes,
There are two solutions for this issue,
1. Create a custom application which will change PWD in all the systems once you change your Portal PWD.
2. Change the backend PWD before accessing UWL. (Login to backend system directly, it will ask for change of PWD).
Thanks.

Password Reset and vanishing user account

Here's the situation.
My friend did not know the password to her iMac, so using the install DVD that came with my iBook I booted her machine and did the password reset as per article 106156. However I not only changed the password to her user account, but also to the root account. (I did not actually see the article until afterward which says not to touch root). After both user and root passwords were successfully changed, I rebooted only to find that the user account was missing from the log in menu! Also unfortunate is that I don't have any other boot/repairs disks aside from my system install disk.
I can't quite figure out why that might happen and how to resolve it. The install disk had 10.3 and her machine had 10.2, but I don't think that is the issue.
How do I get the missing user account to reappear?
If worse comes to worse I might try booting the iMac up in target disk mode and try to retrieve the user data if its possible to do so.

Andrew,
This link might help explain what is possible with SAP Portal in terms of allowing the user to reset their password from the logon screen.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/45/7e6313d8780dece10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
As for allowing a user to unlock their account from the logon page, there is no such functionality that I know of. This would need to be developed. We are doing something similar. In our case, we are developing a module that allows user to retreive their user ID if they forget it. This also is not functionality that SAP provides. The user can specify their email address, and it emails them their user ID. This is being developed in Web Dynpro for Java utilizing the UME APIs.

Hi Tero,
I tried both query and it worked for me,
select right(mcattrname, len(mcattrname) - 7)
from idmv_vallink_basic
where mskey = %usermskey% and left(mcAttrName, 7) = 'account'
select rep_name from MC_REPOSITORY where rep_name in (select right(mcattrname, len(mcattrname) - 7) from idmv_vallink_basic with (nolock) where mskey = %usermskey% and left(mcAttrName, 7) = 'account')
May be Mohinder did not copy paste properly.
Password reset task with option to select repository seems to be coming from many ppl. Will you be able to create a blog with details on how to achieve this, as it is your idea in 1st place?
Kind regards,

Restrict password resets to certain user groups in UME

I am investigating if it is possible to create a UME action which restricts admins to unlocking/locking IDs and resetting passwords for users in a certain user group. I know you may need to create a UME permission class and action. Has anyone done this? If so how?
Thanks and Regards,
Mosi

Hi Mosi,
did you have a look at the <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/2b/306bb5bc98f24f8a85d489449af456/frameset.htm">Documentation about the Company Concept</a>? This can also be used to delegate administrative taks in your case.

Hpconnected password reset issues....

Hi,
I got locked out of my hpconneced account and when I tried to reset the password with the link provided, entered by e-mail address and submitted it. Nothing shows up at my e-mail account. I have checked spam folder and nothing has been recieved from HP. How does one get help from HP on this type of issue?
Thanks,
Neil

Hi Neil,
Thank you for being a member of the HP Support Forums. I understand that when using the password reset feature on HP Connected that you haven’t received the email.
It can take up to 24 hours to receive the email. I would recommend trying to use the reset password feature a second time. If you’ve already tried this (I know I would have, I’m impatient ) and you still haven’t received the email, please call HP’s Cloud Services at 1-855-785-2777 if you live in the USA/Canada region. If you live outside the USA/Canada region please click here to find the Technical Support number for your country/region.

New users with Global Password Policy requiring password "reset on first user login" are still prompted to reset password after entering incorrect password

The setup:
We have the option "Password must: be reset on first user login" enabled in the Global Password Policy on our 10.9 / Mavericks server. We import new user accounts into Open Directory via a delimited text file and include a default password for each user.
What I've observed and tested:
When a user attempts to log into a computer that's bound to our Open Directory for the first time, they can enter anything in the password field and still receive the prompt to reset their password. They are never notified that they entered their default password incorrectly. The password reset will then fail (as it should), but they still aren't notified that this is the reason for the password reset failure. To put it another way: Seeing the prompt to reset your password would reasonably imply that you entered the default password correctly, but that's not the case at all.
The question:
Is this expected behavior? If it is, it doesn't seem logical. If this was the case in OS X Server 10.3 through 10.7 I never noticed it. Can anyone corroborate this with their own setup? Thanks in advance.
-- Steve

Some follow up questions:
- How did you migrate (dsmig ldif or binary import)
- Did the accounts in .x have any custom password policies set?
For a "new" and a migrated entry, can you check if a passwordpolicysubentry is configured?
(search as directory manager and fetch the attribute)

Can Password Reset Work for Non Domain MS Outlook (2007, 2010 and 2013) Clients? NOT OWA, Please

Hi All,
I migrated from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013. I have configured expired password reset and it works fine on OWA (for both internally and externally accessed users) and all computers joined to my domain running MS Outlook clients. However, my users wants
it to work for all MS Outlook client of computers not joined to my domain.
How can I go about this? Does expired password reset work on MS Outlook client (2007, 2010 and 2013) computers not joined to the domain?
Please, help

Hello,
Based on my known, I'm afraid that there is no way to reset expired password if your Outlook client computers not joined to the domain.
For external users, we only reset password via owa.

Hello Experts,
I have developed a post process event handler for Trusted Source Recon. In the event handler I have put a simple logic to generate password and set it for user using API.
BulkEventResult execute method

passwordIntf = Platform.getService(tcPasswordOperationsIntf.class);
passwordIntf.setXelleratePassword(lUserKey, "haihello");
System.out.println("Password has been set successfully....");
Password is successfully set for the user but When I logs into OIM with the password "haihello" , It throws invalid password error.
log message :

The ResetPasswordActionHandler is activated in your environment. The handler expect email notifications can be sent to the user.

Password Reset Issue

Greetings,
I have a requirement that calls for a user to be redirected to a password reset form after the administrator resets their password. I am trying to accomplish this by updating the obpasswordchangeflag attribute (which I have made editable) to “true” after changing the user’s password. I was under the impression that changing this attribute to “true” would prompt the user to reset their password the next time they logged into the system. Unfortunately, when I log in as the user in question with the newly reset password, I am allowed direct access into the system. In addition, I have tried setting the Password Change Redirect URL under the Configure Password Policy tab with no luck. We are using the Basic Over LDAP authentication scheme. The password policy is configured and enabled. The ‘Change on Reset’ box is checked within the password policy. When I use form based authentication, I am redirected to the password reset form. Has anyone had any luck with the password reset redirect using Basic Over LDAP as their authentication scheme?
Additional information, we are running OAM 7.0.4 and all patches have been applied.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Nick

Thanks Ram, for your reply. Chris, you are correct, making the flag editable is for the next stage of this requirement and isn't really a factor in this problem. Ram, I have checked the 'Change on Reset' box and made sure the password policy is enabled. I have also compared both authentication schemes and found no major difference. For whatever reason, I can't seem to get redirected using Basic Over LDAP. Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Nick

Tiger 10.4.7 Password reset issues related to Safari keychain updating

Following a reset password for administrative updating my software,
The following keychain password update has not correctly been updated
to reflect complete password resets.
I have followed the MACOSX reset procedures and the MACOSX 10.4.6 updates processes and procedures to update all concerned administrative password resets and still the keychain safari messages indicate that safari keychain has not correctly updated to the new password. Annoyance message appears not to affect performance issues of safari just sending emails outbound or chances
that provoke keychain password triggers. Can not initiate safari password compliance. It does not recongize new admin. password.
What next? Any ideas from developer channels? Similiar experiences??
