Unix and Samba passwords of your users. Account may also be (un)locked
If you set the <a class="link" href="ch06.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 class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><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 class="listitem"><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. Please configure your LAM server profile
to setup the sender address, subject and mail body. Please see <a class="link" href="ch03.html#mailEOL">email format option</a> in case of broken
mails. See <a class="link" href="apd.html" title="Appendix�D.�Setup of email (SMTP) server">here</a> for setting up your
SMTP server.</p><p>Using this method will prevent that your support staff knows
the new password.</p></li><li class="listitem"><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><span class="bold"><strong>Options:</strong></span></p><p>Depending on the account there may be additional options
available.</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p><span class="bold"><strong>Sync Samba NT/LM password with Unix
password:</strong></span> If a user account has Samba passwords set then
LAM will offer to synchronize the passwords.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p><span class="bold"><strong>Unlock Samba account:</strong></span> Locked
Samba accounts can be unlocked with the password change.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p><span class="bold"><strong>Update Samba password
timestamps:</strong></span> This will set the timestamps when the
password was changed (sambaPwdLastSet). Only existing attributes are
updated. No new attributes are added.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p><span class="bold"><strong>Sync Kerberos password with Unix
password:</strong></span> This will also update the Heimdal Kerberos
password.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p><span class="bold"><strong>Sync Asterisk (voicemail) password with
Unix password:</strong></span> Changes also the Asterisk
passwords.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p><span class="bold"><strong>Force password change:</strong></span> This
will force the user to change his password at next login. This
option supports Shadow, Samba 3 and PPolicy (automatically
detected).</p></li></ul></div><div class="literallayout"><p><br>
</p></div><p><span class="bold"><strong>Account (un)locking:</strong></span></p><p>Depending if the account includes a Unix/Samba extension and
PPolicy is activated the page will show options to (un)lock the account.
E.g. if the account is fully unlocked then there will be no unlocking
options printed.</p><div class="screenshot"><div class="mediaobject"><img src="images/passwordReset3.png"></div></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="ch06.html">Prev</a>�</td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="ch06.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right">�<a accesskey="n" href="ch07.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Chapter�6.�Access levels and password reset page (LAM Pro)�</td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top">�Chapter�7.�Self service (LAM Pro)</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
