Changing passwords
|
|
|
One user interface offered by P-Synch is using a web browser.
In this example, users choose a new password and can clearly see
both the password policy and which systems will be affected.
|
|
|
Users cannot choose an insecure password -- P-Synch explains why
such choices were rejected.
|
|
|
P-Synch displays the results of every password change. P-Synch also
sends e-mails, creates help desk tickets and can retry failed updates
later.
|
|
Password Resets
|
|
|
Users who forgot their password can authenticate by answering
personal questions, using a token or with a variety of other means.
This screen is accessible frmo a web browser, by installing
software to extend the native GINA or Credential Provider, or
without client software, using a secure kiosk account.
|
|
|
Users can access password reset without a client software footprint.
|
|
|
Alternately, client software can be deployed to make password
reset an ``in the flow'' component of the login process.
|
|
|
The same effect is available using a Vista Credential Provider.
|
|
User Enrollment
|
|
|
Users may be asked to enter personal information, which can
be used to authenticate them if they later forget their password.
|
|
|
Users may be asked to provide their non-standard login IDs.
|
|
PIN Resets
|
|
|
P-Synch can also help users reset PINs, get emergency passcodes and
synchronize clocks on RSA tokens.
