Enable Account

Use this activity to enable users’ disabled accounts. You can use the activity in different workflows. It is recommended to place this activity after authentication activities in a workflow.

NOTE: If you want to enable only the user accounts disabled through force enrollment, in the activity settings, select Enable user accounts disabled by force enrollment check box.

For example, to enable users with disabled accounts to reset passwords and enable their accounts, you can use the Enable Account activity in the Forgot My Password workflow:

  1. Authenticate user with Q&A profile.

  2. Enable account.

  3. Reset password in Active Directory.

  4. Restart workflow if error occurs.

  5. Email user if workflow succeeds.

  6. Email user if workflow fails.

Force user to change password at next logon

Use this activity when users want to change their passwords during the next logon.

For example, you can use this activity in the Reset Password workflow and can force users to change passwords at the next logon once the password has been reset by a helpdesk operator.

To allow users to change password at the next logon, the helpdesk operator must select Helpdesk operators can choose whether to force users to change password at next logon check box available in the Force user to change password at next logon activity.

It is recommended to place this activity after the Reset Password activity in a workflow.

Assign Passcode

This activity is a core activity of the Assign Passcode workflow. It allows helpdesk operators to assign a passcode to the user who has forgotten password and is not yet registered with Password Manager or has forgotten answers to secret questions.

This activity has the following settings:

  • Passcode length: Specify how many characters a passcode must contain.

  • Passcode lifetime: Specify how long a passcode issued by helpdesk operators is valid.

Select the Generate Passcode and send it in SMS checkbox to send the passcode via SMS or select the Generate Passcode and send it in e-mail to send the passcode in e-mail to the user's device to authenticate on the Password Manager Self-Service Site.

NOTE: To select Generate Passcode and send it in SMS, you must have a valid license with telephone verification. To select Generate Passcode and send it in e-mail, you must configure at least one SMTP server.
