Enabling System Password Reset Self-Service

Access the Work With User Security form.

  1. On the Work With User Security form, select Revise All from the Form menu.

  2. On the Security Detail Revisions form, select the Frequency checkbox and enter a value in the Password Change Frequency field to specify the number of days after which the password will expire.
    Note: You can set the password frequency for individual users. To specify a frequency other than the one specified for all users, enter a user ID on the Work With User Security form and select Revise Security from the Row menu. Enter the password frequency specific to the user and save the entry.
  3. Select the Reset Password Options checkbox and complete these fields, as necessary:

    • Password Expiry Notify Time

      Specify the time in hours and minutes the time of the day at which the user will be notified about the upcoming password expiration. This will be based on the local time of the user's country setup.

    • Password Expiry Notification Interval

      Specify the days before the password expiration on which the system should send notification to the user about the upcoming password expiration. You can define the days separated by commas, for example, to send notification three, five, and seven days before the password expiry date, enter 3,5,7 in this field.

    • Reset Password Link Active Time

      Specify the number of minutes for which the password reset link that the system sends on the user's email should be active. This field has a default value of 15.

      Note: If you clear out the values in the above three fields, and deselect the Reset Password Options checkbox, the system disables the password reset self-service feature.
