RE: IBM i Password reset tool

Rob,

<Help desk uses ISIM to reset it.

So the ISIM is a manual reset, not automated, correct.

User forgets their Windows password,
tries a few times,
calls help desk,
Help desk uses ISIM to reset it.
User logs into Windows and changes their password
Password gets propagated to IBM i and Notes.

Not a JDE shop.

Yes it handles when a single Windows user has multiple IBM i accounts on a single lpar. Including a coworker who is active on this list
Multiple lpars, no problem.

Rob,

<Clarifying, when you re-set the password in ISIM, this resets all passwords linked to that user, correct?

1) Can you confirm this?
when you re-set the password in ISIM, this resets all passwords linked to that user, correct
Windows, IBM I (possibly multiples), JDE, etc.

2) Is this re-set a manual or automated process?

3) How do you handle the situation were the user can't log into their PC?

We do not use EIM/SSO anymore.
We did a brief foray into that when we were using biometrics to log on.

Rob,

passwords linked to that user, correct?
Will ISIM work in conjunction with EIM SSO without any issues.

Thanks

We reset their password in ISIM which resets their password in Windows,
IBM i, etc.
They sign on to Windows. When they change their password in Windows an
ISIM hook then propagates it to ISIM, IBM i, Notes, etc.

One has to be careful with passwords for accounts which never sign on. For


example, accounts used to run scheduled jobs only. You may want to start
out with reports only and only when you feel comfortable with the outcome,


change to automatic actions.

We do not disable accounts with too many sign on's, only the device. In
theory one could launch a Denial Of Service attack on your system by
looking at message queues in QUSRSYS and signing on three times with a
password of hatethisjob (unless they find some one user with that
password).

Our message queue monitoring software does trap some of these. Users on
our scanning devices have real difficulties signing on. We vary the
device back on three times before giving up. All automatic.

Set QMAXSGNACN to 3 - Disable Device and Profile??

Or do you want the profile (or a specific profile) re-activated?

We have several scheduled jobs for passwords:

- change any profile that has never signed on to
PASSWORD(*NONE)
- change any profile not used in 180 days to
PASSWORD(*NONE)
- change profiles with passwords older than 60 days and
not used will be DISABLED
- for selected shop floor accounts that get disabled,
re-enable them automatically.

Most of these are based on DSPUSRPRF to an outfile, then reading that file


(in a CLP) and doing appropriate things.

Reset how? Automatically assign a new password after so many days? We
just set the Password Expiration Interval. There are a few profiles, like


QSECOFR, that don't reset ever...
