Change Password on Next Login via Web

[Matt Giannetto <MGiannetto () MC3 EDU>]

Folks,

We’re trying to improve our registration process via the web and are running into a roadblock.  I’m hoping I can poll 
the group and find out how other schools are tackling this problem.

Our goal is to be able to have the ability to force users to change their password on first/next login after they 
authenticate to our SharePoint web portal.  The big limitation we’re currently running into is that when the “Change 
password on next login” is flagged in Active Directory, all of our web services consider the account as locked and 
won’t let them authenticate.  We’re also looking for something that can help facilitate password expiration, such as 
emailing the user, "Your password will change in X number of days, please click here to change it".  If it makes a 
difference, we also use Forefront Identity Management.

We currently use Courion to manage self-service password resets.  I’ve reached out to them to see if their product 
could help us tackle this issue, but unfortunately it does not.

We’re looking for a technique or a tool that can help us get past this issue.  Any advice?

Thanks,
