For security reasons, User Management Resource Administrator support
automatic password generation. For each user account that is created,
a password can be generated automatically. You can configure the complexity of the generated passwords
from simple (examples: sbjg, kyfd)
to very strong (examples: 2v>`<J)G\0unOY,
3|}3aca9i>4H8Q{v`TS). User Management Resource Administrator further
supports the password complexity rules as used in Microsoft Windows 2003/2000/NT
networks. When the password is generated, it is stored in a variable.
Next, this variable is used to actually set
the password for the user account and export the password to an export file. As an alternative,
you can also use no password, read the password from the input data or
set the password to a constant value.
You can specify the rules used to generate a password. To do so, select
an script action that supports the Password
generator property. This is
either the action Create user (AD) or
Create
user (no AD). The script
of a project is shown in the lower left section of the project window.
Once the action is selected, the properties of the action are shown in
the lower right section of the project window. Double click property Password generator
or select the property and select menu option Actions, Properties
of action property. Selection
option Use the following value and press the Edit
button. The Password
generator window is shown.
Using this window you can setup the
rules used to generate the passwords. The section Predefined
settings contains a number of
generation settings that are most easy to specify. Each setting
specifies the value for the Password
generation settings. These settings
specify the minimum and maximum length of the password and the minimum
and maximum number of characters of a specific type used to generate the
password. Instead of selecting a predefined
setting you can enter these
values manually. To see an example of a password generated according to
the current settings, press the Test button. In the section Output
variable you need to specify
the name of the variable that must store the generated password. By default,
this is the %Password% variable. It is advised not to change the name
of this variable since it is used in related properties as well.
