Setting a central password
The central password is set separately from other password to prevent problems.
Once at least one of the logged in user's passwords is managed by the central password, two options are provided after authentication.
- Setting the central password
- Setting one or more passwords
If setting one or more passwords, it is possible to set a password managed by the central password. If you want to prevent this, you can exclude the password from being reset.
For more information, see Excluding passwords from being reset.
Configuring checks for all passwords
Once a user has changed their central password and the user account is linked to other target system accounts, the password can be checked against all the password policies of the connected target systems.
To configure checks for all passwords

Configuring Password Reset Portal login using target system user accounts
By default, it is only possible to log in to the Password Reset Portal using password questions or a passcode if you use a central user account. You can configure the Password Reset Portal's authentication module such that log in with the help of password questions or a passcode is also possible using a target system user account (Active Directory user accounts, for example). To do this, enter database tables and columns containing the user names of user accounts that are permitted to log in to the Password Reset Portal. For more information the about Password Reset Portal's authentication module, see the One Identity Manager Authorization and Authentication Guide.
To configure login using target system user accounts
-
Start the program.
-
Connect to the relevant database.
-
Set and configure the following configuration parameters:

-
QER | Person | PasswordResetAuthenticator | SearchTable: Enter the name of the database table containing the use names of the user accounts permitted to log in to the Password Reset Portal.
When a user tries to log in to the Password Reset Portal, this table and the column given under SearchColumn are searched for the user names permitted for use.

NOTE: This database table must have a foreign key named UID_Person that references the Person table. This is required to match the user names to the One Identity Manager user accounts.
-
QER | Person | PasswordResetAuthenticator | SearchColumn: Enter the name of the table column containing the use names of the user accounts permitted to log in to the Password Reset Portal.
