I would take a look at www.anixis.com <http://www.anixis.com/> .  Low
cost, easy to implement with AD as well as upgrade, light footprint, can
be applied to OU's or security groups (i.e. more than one password
policy per domain!).  We have it implemented here: http://mypw.tcu.edu

Subject: [SECURITY] Password Reset

 

At the University of Nevada, Reno, we use Microsoft Active Directory to
authenticate all faculty, staff, and students.  Most of our central
applications and library resources authenticate off of it either
directly or via LDAP.  We are now researching password self-reset
functionality.

My question for the group is if anyone else is using Active Directory
for authentication and what (if anything) you've done for a user
self-reset utility/application of passwords.

Thanks much,
