Hi All
Has anyone configured the Self-service password reset option yet?
I have a question that the documentation doesn't answer. We plan on using the IdM on our SAP landscape which would involve at least 9 seperate systems, meaning the Dev, QA and Prod systems for BW 3.5, CRM 2007 & ECC.
My question is if we have a user that has access to all these systems, but only needs to reset their password in 1 of them. How does the Self-service password reset option know which system that user's id is locked in or would it be resetting the password in every one of the systems?

Hi Ken,
If I understand correctly, if a user have access to BW 3.5, CRM 2007 & ECC in PRD system,you want he to be able to reset himself only in one of them.
To do so, you can make separate UI task for password reset of each system.
Just in your UI task for password reset in tab Options (Repository) - set the correct repository for the system you want the user to be reset. This way each user will see in the UI all tree sistem for password reset(if he has the permissions to see them, if he has access in them) and will be able to choose between them.

This sounds logical I will test this out.
But by doing this would the End User have to answer the authorization questions for each system independently (multiple times)? I can see a definite problem with the users having access to all of the systems. Although they would remember their answers after repeating them 9 or more times at sign up.

That's right. Users would have to repeat the same process if they want to change the password for say 2 systems out of the 9. Its a quick and easy way to get it up and running without much customization.
But if you want to eliminate this repetition, the ideal way would be to customize the UI (some thig like this which comes as part of RDS)

Hi Murali!
Great your answer... I would like to know if you has a example about this customizing... I configured the reset password (self-servisse) but, I have four system in my landscape... So, I need customizing the reset password, where the user select the system to reset the password...
Can you shared a example, please?
Thanks and regards.
Hi Murali/All,
I am trying to implement password reset with option to select repositories as your above screenshot shows. I have copied it below as well.
I am not able to get user's all repositories dynamically using webdynpro UI.
SQL query in Attribute values tab does not help.
Does it need extension framework class or how it can be implemented ?
Thank you.

Interesting question. I think it would reset the password in all the connected systems.
As per the documentation on attribute MX_ENCRYPTED_PASSWORD :
This is a default attribute of the MX_PERSON entry type and contains the user's encrypted
password. The same password is used in all connected systems, so the defined password policy
must comply with all systems
As part of IdM RDS solution, there is an option to reset password system dependently.
Cheers,
Murali.
