Self Service Password Reset

[acraiger]

managed to get it working, seems that page doesnt like the variables used, if you manually set them in that, min length etc it works. can supply code if needed.

If you could upload the code as to how you did this, that would be great.
I've gotten a new boss, and he decided he wants this implemented this.

I just discovered that a user can set their password to blank, which is not good.
It does seems to error out for any other password that does not meet our Domain password complexity.

If I figure out a solution, I'll upload my code change.

[acraiger]

For the Select Case PwdType on reset_pass.asp
I added an If statement:

I changed it from:
Case 5
If (Not ISEmpty(Request.Form("NewPass"))) Then
NewPassword = Request.Form("NewPass")
'check for blank password
ResetPass()
Else
PWPromptUser()
End If

To:
Case 5
If (Not ISEmpty(Request.Form("NewPass"))) Then
NewPassword = Request.Form("NewPass")
'check for blank password
If NewPassword = "" Then
PWPromptUser()
Else
ResetPass()
End If
Else
PWPromptUser()
End If

It's probably not the cleanest way to do this, but it seems to be working.

I wish I knew how to program in ASP a little better, then I could create better fixes.

i've modified ours quite a bit as dont want people to use the word password, so you may gave to take that bit out, but here you go:

reset/reset_pass.asp

JavaScriptHeader = "function formValidation(form)" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "{" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "if(notpassword(form.NewPass))" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "{" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "if(minLength(form.NewPass)){" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "return true;" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "} else {" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "alert(""Your password must be at least 6 characters long"");" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "document.form.NewPass.focus();" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "}" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "} else {" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "alert(""You cannot use the word password as a new password"");" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "document.form.NewPass.focus();" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "}" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "return false;" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "}" & vbNewLine


JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "function notEmpty(elem)" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "{" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "if(elem.value.length == 0){" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "return false;" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "} else {" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "return true;" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "}" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "}" & vbNewLine

JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "function notpassword(elem)" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "{" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "if(elem.value.toLowerCase() == 'password'){" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "return false;" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "} else {" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "return true;" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "}" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "}" & vbNewLine

JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "function minLength(elem)" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "{" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "if(elem.value.length > 5){" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "return true;" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "} else {" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "return false;" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "}" & vbNewLine
JavaScriptHeader = JavaScriptHeader & "}" & vbNewLine

Hi, Thanks for this simple and easy tool.. it works perfectly on test network.. I will deploy it on production environment this week. just wondering is there any way to reduce the question at registration page? I don't need three questions there

[plexer]

Hi,

Glad you like it and it works for you.

There is no way to reduce the number of questions without hacking a lot of code out I don't think.

Will consider it as a feature request for the next version.

Thanks.

Hi Guys,

Im looking for something like this, does it work on Windows Server 2008 R2?

Thanks - Tom

[plexer]

Hi Tom,

Don't know if it's been tried on that, care to give it a whirl and let us know?

Ben

[thomasdavid1]

See if I can set it up on a virtual server tomorrow and give it a test.

[themaster0071]

Just a FYI,

Anyone wanting to use on 2008 server R2 it works fine.

If anyone can help with a custom gina for Windows 7 I would appreciate it, I need help with it so we can have the reset password option on the login screen.

Hi,

I have followed the process mentioned for setting the password reset option on the desktop for users. However, when i restart the system, the tool is not shown.

Can you please let me know what is that i have to do to make the tool visible always.

Thanks

[zbjsy]

did you have to do anything different on 2008? in process of migrating from 2003 to 2008 r2

[rmanasa]

The above mentioned issue is resolved. However, when a user is trying to reset his password, he gets the below error.

Error: User x has not been registered. Please check you entered the username correctly and try again. If you entered your username correctly then password reset is not possible.

Please contact an administrator.

I have tried reset the counters and resetting the user's questions.

Any help is appreciated.

'Active Directory Group whose passwords can be reset by resetGroup
usersGroup = "Student Group"

Can this have multi student groups listed in it?

As I have a Student group that has all the other student groups added to it but this does not work
