Re: Password Self-Service software

Hi Greg,
 
You might want to check out the P-Synch product from Hitachi-ID (formerly M-Tech).  It is a great product that is 
effective and relatively easy to implement.  You can check this out at www.hitachi-id.com.  Hope this helps.

Hello,

We're wanting to implement a password self-service site for our users.  
I'm wondering what others are using. We're using AD for our back-end  
authentication. We have about 7500 students and employees and about  
20,000 alumni accounts which receive relatively casual use.

Here are the things that we're looking for:

1) Reset password using some sort of question/answer module
2) Allow pre-population of questions/answers would be desirable
3) Being able to send a one-time, expiring, password would be nice
4) Logging, logging, logging
5) We'll likely develop our own account provisioning but would like it  
to tie into this system for initial password connectivity
6) Enforcement of password rules
7) Notification to users when their password is about to expire

I've been looking at Password Manager from Quest but would like to  
hear suggestions from others.

Thanks,
Greg
