Password reset (role-based)

NOTE: This authentication module is available if the Identity Management Base Module is installed.

The authentication module is used for login to Password Reset Portal. The authentication module checks the passcode or the employee’s answers to the password questions. In the case of login with an passcode, this information is deleted after a successful login.

Credentials

Central user account and passcode.

- OR -

Central user account and answers to the password questions.

- OR -

Target system user account and passcode.

Target system user account and answers to password questions.

Prerequisites

  • The employee exists in the One Identity Manager database.

  • Using the central user account: The central user account is entered in the employee's main data.

  • Using the target system user account: The user account exists in the One Identity Manager database and the employee is entered in the main data of the employee’s user account.

  • The employee is not deactivated or has the certification status New.

Remarks

The application token for Password Reset Portal must be specified. You set the application token when installing Password Reset Portal. The application token is saved as a hash value in the database in the QER | Person | PasswordResetAuthenticator | ApplicationToken parameter and stored encrypted in the web.config file. For more information about configuring the Password Reset Portal, see the One Identity Manager Web Application Configuration Guide.

A dynamic system user is determined from the employee's application roles. The user interface and the permissions are loaded through this system user.

In the Designer, modify the following configuration parameters so that target system accounts can be used for logging in. If the configuration parameters are not set, the employee’s central user account is used.

Table 32: Configuration parameters for the authentication module
Configuration parameter Meaning

QER | Person | PasswordResetAuthenticator | SearchTable

Editing authentication modules

Before you can use an authentication module for logging on, the following prerequisites must be fulfilled:

  1. The authentication module must be enabled.

  2. The authentication module must be assigned to the application.

  3. The assignment of the authentication module to the application must be enabled.

This allows you to log in to the assigned application using this authentication module. Ensure that users found through the authentication module also have the required program function to use the program.
