Password for individual system users

DialogUser.Password

NOTE: The system user is not suggested for resetting the password in the following cases:

  • If external password management is enabled for the system user.
  • If the system user is enabled as service account.
  • If the system user is used for automatic software updating of One Identity Manager web applications.

These cases are implemented in the QER_PasswordWeb_IsAllowSet script, which can be overwritten.

  • If the system user is used for role-based login.

In this case, the system user is not accepted by the Password Reset Portal.

 

Excluding passwords from being reset

Table 16: Script for resetting passwords

Script

Description

QER_PasswordReset_IsAllowSet

Specifies whether resetting a password in the Password Reset Portal is allowed.

To prevent users from setting passwords by mistake, you can exclude certain password from being reset.

User cases for this may be passwords that are calculated from other values or passwords for target systems that are only connected as read-only.

NOTE: In "QER_PasswordWeb_IsAllowSet", the system user is prevented, by default, from resetting the password in the following cases.
  • If external password management is enabled.
  • If the system user is enabled as service account.
  • If the system user is used for automatic software updating of One Identity Manager web applications.

To exclude passwords from being reset

  1. Open the Designer.
  2. Find "QER_PasswordReset_IsAllowSet".
  3. Use "QER_PasswordReset_IsAllowSet" as the basis for an overrideable script with the following parameters.
    1. Current user's UID_Person.
    2. Object's key (ObjectKey) offered for password reset.
    3. Password column name.
  4. Save the setting in the Designer.
  5. Compile the Password Reset Portal.

Central password

Apart from setting individual passwords in the Password Reset Portal, you can also set the central password. Each user has a central password, with which other passwords can be managed depending on the configuration of the target system.

Defining password dependencies

By defining password dependencies, you specify which passwords are managed through the central password.

Table 17: Script for declaring passwords

Script

Description

QER_PasswordWeb_IsByCentralPwd

By default, the script checks whether "QER | Person | UseCentralPassword"
is set. If the configuration parameter is set, the employee's central password is mapped to the password column of the employee's user account. A user account must be linked to the current user, it cannot be a privileged account. The script can be overwritten.

To define password dependencies

  1. Open the Designer.
  2. Search QER_PasswordWeb_IsByCentralPwd.
  3. Use "QER_PasswordWeb_IsByCentralPwd" as the basis for an overrideable script with the following parameters.
    1. Current user's UID_Person.
    2. Object's key (ObjectKey) offered for password reset.
    3. Password's column name.

    Using this input parameter, the script must return the information regarding whether or not a password is managed by the central password.

  4. Save the setting in the Designer.
  5. Compile the Password Reset Portal.
