|
||
Unix and Samba passwords of your users. If you set the <a class="link" href="ch03.html#s_accessLevel">access level</a> to "Change passwords" then
|
||
LAM will not allow any changes to the LDAP database except password
|
||
changes via this page. The account pages will be still available in
|
||
read-only mode.</p><p>You can open the password reset page by clicking on the key symbol
|
||
on each user account:</p><div class="screenshot"><div class="mediaobject"><img src="images/passwordReset1.png"></div></div><p>There are three different options to set a new
|
||
password:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>set random password and display it on
|
||
screen</strong></span></p><p>This will set the user's password to a random value. The
|
||
password will be 11 characters long with a random combination of
|
||
letters, digits and ".-_".</p><p>You may want to use this method to tell users their new
|
||
passwords via phone.</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>set random password and mail it to
|
||
user</strong></span></p><p>If the user account has set the mail attribute then LAM can
|
||
send your user a mail with the new password. You can change the mail
|
||
template to fit your needs. See the help link for further
|
||
details.</p><p>Using this method will prevent that your support staff knows
|
||
the new password.</p></li><li><p><span class="bold"><strong>set specific password</strong></span></p><p>Here you can specify your own password.</p></li></ul></div><div class="screenshot"><div class="mediaobject"><img src="images/passwordReset2.png"></div></div><p>LAM will display contact information about the user like the
|
||
user's name, email address and telephone number. This will help your
|
||
deskside support to easily contact your users.</p><p>If a user account has Samba passwords set then LAM will offer to
|
||
synchronize the passwords.</p></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="ch03.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="ch03.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> </td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Chapter 3.
