Password Reset options - 11G R2

Question

Hi ,
From the default OIM configuration, when we reset password by using 'Reset Password' link, password is also being reset in users all Provisioned Accounts. Our requirement is to Reset Password(using Password Reset link) only in OIM or doin reset password by selecting account, is that possible? Any guide is strongly appreciated..
BR,

You are right. This property has no effect in R2.same is mentioned in Oracle doc.But this is how it was in R1
Now, in case of R2 it should be default behavior. because we have list of changePassword() method which set USR_CHANGE_PWD_AT_NEXT_LOGON=1 in OIMDB. I am not sure if the same method is called or not. else you have to do as rajeev suggested.
Look at below method of UserManager API
void changePassword(java.lang.String userID, char[] password,boolean isUserLogin, java.util.Locale locale, boolean setPasswordResetFlag,boolean sendNotification)
setPasswordResetFlag-- if the value is True then it will set USR_CHANGE_PWD_AT_NEXT_LOGON=1 in OIMDB else USR_CHANGE_PWD_AT_NEXT_LOGON=0
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E27559_01/apirefs.1112/e28159/oracle/iam/identity/usermgmt/api/UserManager.html#changePassword_java_lang_String__char____boolean__java_util_Locale__boolean__boolean_
I have to verify which method has been called from UI and if this method is being called, does it pass True for setPasswordResetFlag parameter.
Meanwhile, you can implement as rajeev suggested or consult oracle for same. Because, as per my understanding it should be default behavior or there should be system property to control this.
Better ask oracle if this property has no effect then how do we manage this.See what workaround they suggest
