Re: Password management

[Scott Reece <SReece@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rich,

It doesn't seem to work on a new install, is there a way to recover the
password for a clean install if you don't have the users password?

Thanks,

I use the ID Recovery Database when a user decides to change their
password and then forgets what they just changed it to.  I was never
allowed to set password policies or database quotas.  Got to be real
messy.

Re: Password management






Password policy? What's that? About a year and a half ago our CEO (former
VP of IT) mandated the new policy. No password expiration at all and we
couldn't require "complex" passwords. So I'm using my Level 3 password
quality scale with minimum of 6 characters.

When I register a user I create an ID in the address book (eases client
installs), mail file (has to be there for DWA encryption/signing), and on
a mapped drive to a subfolder on my mail server's data directory.
