Local User Passwords from Policy

Hi everybody. A question about local users on APM. We would like to give our users the possibility to change the password of their local user from the logon portal. I have seen that it can be done with users from Active Directory (variable change_password, etc.) but our users are on the local database of the APM. Could it be done? Thank you!

  • Hi,

     

    As far a I know, you can write to the local user database for the following actions:

     

    1. Increment or reset number of login failures.
    2. Change lockout status
    3. Force password change at next login
    4. Personal information

    Password change by the user is not one of them.

      if you can do 3 then you pretty much have it worked out. sure it is only on the next login, but it is a way.

      Hello. I cannot find the option on a policy to "force password change at next login". Could you tell me how to do this?. Thank you!.

      Hi,

       

      This option cannot be found in a policy, but is set in the user properties.

       

      Select the correct partition (if used) and go to Access Policy -> Local User DB -> Manage Users. Click on the user and select ' Edit' at the bottom of the screen.
