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.
