End User Unlock and Password Reset in GRC AC 10.0

Hi Dears,
I have an issue related to End User Unlock and Password Reset.
We maintained Data Source as SU01 in SPRO, So that User can able to access GRC Application through End User Login with ECC System login
Details for raise a request.
If user is locked or forget ECC system password, then user not able to access GRC Application through End User Login with ECC System login Details for Unlock or reset Password.
In this situation, how user can unlock or reset the Password for ECC System.
Could you please provide the solution to resolve the Issue.
Note:- No LDAP or Acitive Directory.
System Details :- GRC AC 10.0 , SP12.
Regards,
Karnatak.

Hi Rupesh
That was my warning on the post I linked you to
Quite a few PSS solutions have this as a setup (even SCN). The key thing you are reliant on is that the email account must be restricted to only the user to receive the password/link as well as appropriate Challenge Response Questions defined as part of their registration.
But yes, they can technically enter any User id to request the password and if they know the answers to the questions then they will get the password issue.
Your alternatively is to introduce another system (i.e. AD which you ruled out) or see if there is a way to introduce a second factor authentication (I don't believe this is delivered with GRC).

Can the user unlock his AD account in FIM 2010 R2

Hi all
can a user unlock his AD account from FIM portal.
Thanks
Teka

Hello,
currently not out-of-box, but you can do this by customizing the portal.
MIM vNext will provide Self-Service Account Unlock, you can check the
preview on connect for that.
I currently have Account Unlock through helpdesk but it is possible to change this to self service.
You can use the
powershell activitiy for that for example:
1. Change RCDC for user UI and add a boolean attribute for account unlock.
2. On change of this attribute trigger a MPR with the PS activity that unlocks the account.
3. Reset the unlock account attribute to normal state (false).
4. create approp. permission MPRs to allow users to change only their own account unlock attribute.
thats it.

HT202233 If I made the mobile account for a network user, can this user unlock the FileVault2-disk?

My Mac is connected to Microsoft Active Directory. Every time I schould unlock the disk with the local admin, then login as network user.
If I made the mobile account for a network user, can this user unlock the FileVault2-disk?
Thanks.

Yes, but the FileVault password won't be updated automatically if the login password changes.

User Unlock with an email request

Hi all,
I have a question about user unlock problem. We have lots of SAP user and some of them can lock their user ID. We unlock the user manually.We dont want to use any parameter for unlock because of some business decision.
Does somebody know How can we unlock the user and send new password by email automatically ?
For example someone send an email to xxx@hotmailcom. message subject should be a username which is locked.then system should be send an email to user's email (mail adress which is registered in SAP user) with newpassword.
it can be possible or not ?
thanks a ot .

Hi,
its possible and a lot of customization required. It may turn into a new project. However, we have password reset tools from different vendors.
SAP also provides such functionality using The Virsa Access Enforcer tool.

[SOLVED] Gnome 3.6.1 Control Center Printers and Users "unlock"...

I have an Arch system running Gnome 3.6 with systemd, and without consolekit as is now the standard.
After upgrading from Gnome 3.4 to 3.6, the unlock buttons in both Users and Printers section of gnome-control-center no longer work. (In 3.4, the printers dialog could authenticate but it never actually worked properly - I heard they fixed this in 3.6. I never tried the Users panel back then)
Anyways, I sifted through the source code for the Printers dialog, and it points to the polkit 'org.opensuse.cupspkhelper.mechanism.all-edit' rule. Reading the rule file for cupspkhelper (which exists), it specified "allow_admin" is what this rule wants. Following further research, I added myself to the 'wheel' group which apparently should work. And after all of this? It still doesn't work. I imagine that there is a similar problem for the Users panel, but I haven't investigated in detail.
Any ideas to get this working? Is it broken upstream? Is it my fault?
Thanks
[edit] I guess I should post some logs, bug running gnome-control-center in terminal doesn't actually output anything. -v adds nothing other than to say it is in debug mode.

Additionally, I have a newly added suspicion that gnome just needs ConsoleKit.

I should note that this cleared up on its own after a packagekit update it seems.

How to find list of locked users & unlock them?

Hello,
Is there any method in portal to find the list of locked users? and unlock them.
we can unlock single user at a time.
but if we want to unlock a group of users (for Ex:- 20 locked users), how can we unlock al the 20 locked users?
Thanks in advance,
Vila.

Hi Vila,
Go to user administration -> Identity management
Click on advanced search. Go to account information tab. Check the use account locked field and then click on search. This will give you a list of all the users whose accounts are locked.
Select all the users whose accounts you want to unlock, and then click unlock.

User unlock due to Incorrect attempts

Hello Experts,
We are trying to implement a solution where password reset should also unlock users locked due to incorrect attempts in SAP. Is there a way in IDM to identify the lock type of a user
Best Regards,
Mohammed

Hi Mohammed,
Here is my solution, it works, but you will have to add additional task and script to check the status(as well, it will take longer).
Solution:
In your order task group 8. Set ABAP User password(SAP connectors) add additional task(as first task), that will read from SAP(read the islocked - flag(for user lock) and iswronglogon - flag(for password lock) from SAP) and store the data in some temporary table(sap_locked_temp_table....), as well when you are reading the data from SAP you can add a script to check the result and in case of SAP lock - islocked=L, to skip the next task(skip the password change for this system). Keep in mind that you will have to do this check for each system, so in your temporary table you have to keep not only the userid, but and the system in which the user is locked.
But if you want to unlock the password, without unlocking the user, it's not possible, as the flag iswronglogon doesn't work with ToSAP pass, you can only read it.
My solution works in case you want to unlock the password only if the user is unlocked.

Simona

User Unlock Access

Hello Experts,
I want to give access to 1 user to unlock account for other users whose account gets locked after 3 failed attempts(this is our company's secuirty Policy).
I tried all options of giving authorisation to said user but nothing is working unless I make it Super user.
Regards
Deepak

hi,
in your case its a better practice if you will add another super user aside from the default Super User w/c is "manager", so that in case if the manager is lock, there is still another user that can unlock locked users, since only Super Users can Lock & Unlocked users.

Fidel

Iphone 4s activation user unlock

Hi,
is there any way that i can unlock the activation of my iphone without the apple id and password? I just get my old phone from my sister an she used it and attached his apple id to the phone and she dont remember de password...

Get the owner of the Apple ID that was used to enable Find My iPhone on that device under Settings > iCloud to go to www.icloud.com and log in with that Apple ID, and then remove the device from their account: support.apple.com/kb/ts4515
Alternatively, if the original purchaser of the iPhone from an Authorized Apple Retail Store is available, they can contact Apple Support, and provide a Proof of Purchase to Apple and request that the device be removed from that Apple ID and associated to a new one. But ONLY an proof of purchase and the original purchaser can contact Apple to request this.

Uk user unlocked iPhone 4 tethering not available ?

Hi chaps, I'm sure that before I updated to ver. 4.3.1 I could see the 'Tethering' option in 'Network' .... it ain't there now - I have tried deleting the .ipsw files (as advised by wjosten in another thread) I've reinstalled etc but it's still not there ... I have just bought an iPad 2 and was going to mess around with tethering ... probably not going to work 'cause I'm on giffgaff and it's against there TACs but thought I'd give it a try and if necessary switch providers ... any advice very welcome ... best Roger

Thanks for that - I'm sure I've seen the option but this may have been when I updated iphone software, it loss all of my carrier's settings ... and no my carrier does not support tethering however I have heard a lot of talk about the option being 'visible' but not usable unless ones carrier supports it - I must have got that wrong - good of you to take the time.
It's a pity as I pay for my 3g data on my phone, the fact that I would like to (very rarely) switch to my ipad for the increased real estate wouldn't add much to my data use - I guess they feel they need to protect themselves from abuse !
It seems no matter who your carrier is all they're really interested in is making more money, when will they realise that providing customers with what the customer wants would increase revenue .... end of morning rant.
Good of you to take the time.
Roger

Help, MBP Hard Drive is Read-Only, Can't access or unlock any user preferences

I could really use some help. I have searched and tried what I could but I am at a loss with what to do. I first noticed this last night when I was trying to switch users and after entering the correct password nothing would happen. I then went to Preferences to reset my password and the lock icon was closed so I clicked to unlock it and it prompted me for my password and after entering the correct one nothing happens. It simply reverts back to the same window without unlocking.
I am unable to switch users, unlock any locked preferences, install any software, etc as anything that requires my admin password won't work. I am entering the correct password because if the wrong one is entered it "shakes" and the correct one looks as if it will be accepted but it doesn't.
I have tried running repair in Disk Utility and rebooting multiple times to no avail. I finally decided to try and reinstall Lion however once I get to the page asking for admin allowance it again won't go past the password screen so I can't even do that.
After reading tons of threads I came across one that pointed to my Macintosh HD. I chose get info and it turns out that I am now Read Only. The only one with write access is System. Therefore I can't do anything.
I am completely at a loss and really need some help. Some threads I've come across mention running scripts in Terminal but I have no idea what is actually relevant for me and would really prefer some specific help. I was on 10.7.1 so I upgraded to 10.7.2 but the issue is still very much present.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Reboot and hold down the option key at the startup chime. Select Recovery HD. Launch Disk Utility. Try repairing permissions. You can also reinstall from there if you wish.
What have you been using to make backups? Time Machine or some other program?

Server unlocks locked users automatically - why ?

Hello,
I am using WLS 6.1 SP1
I have set Lockout Enable option to TRUE in Password tab of security.
I also have set
Lockout Threshold = 3
Lockout Duration=999999
Lockout ResetDureation= 5
and rest are default.
After invalid login in a span of 5 minutes, server locks the user.
I can see the status on the console server->Monitoring->Security tab
Total User Unlocked = 0
Locked Users = 1
But if try to login again with same (locked) user with or without correct
password,
the server unlocks user. Next attempt with correct password, user will be
successfully authenticated.
If you see in the console for server->Monitoring->Security tab,
Total User Unlocked = 1
Locked Users = 0
I have not used any unlock command.
Is there is anything wrong in the configuration or web.xml ?
Thanks
Deepak

Hello,
I found out one problem - Looks like a BUG
If Lockout Duration = 999999 then Server unlocks locked user automatically
during next login attempt
with correct or incorrect password.
This looks like a bug becuase
--- Value 999999 is the maximum value allowed and it accepts this value.
In the documentation, this value represented in terms of Seconds as the unit
of measurement
whereas actaully the <Lock Notice> is displayed in terms as 999'999 Minutes.
I tried with value 99999 (5 digits), it works !!!

Login window only shows one user account

Hi,
Anyone has an idea what's happening?
I'm running Yosemite on MBPr 15" Mid-2012
When I power on or reboot the laptop, on the login window it only shows one user account, my account which is the Admin account. It doesn't show the secondary normal user account I created for my wife. However once I'm logged in and I hit log-off, then it shows the 2 user accounts available for login.
Thanks in advance!

The lock is on the bottom left not bottom right. Sorry mixed that up.
Letting other users unlock the drive
If you want to make the Mac available to a user that doesn't currently have unlock capabilities, log in as a user that can unlock the disk. When you see your own desktop, choose "Log Out (user name)" from the Apple () menu. Also, you can unlock the disk, then switch to another user from Fast User Switch menu in the menu bar.
If you want to grant existing users the ability to unlock the drive on their own, open the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences. Select the FileVault tab and click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the window. Enter your admin privileges when prompted. Click the "Enable Users..." button to add existing users to the list of accounts that can unlock the disk.
Hope that helps,
Weston
