Resetting User Password

To reset a user password:

Using Adaxes Administration Console

  1. Launch the Adaxes Administration Console.

  2. In the Console Tree, expand your service node (the icon represents service nodes).

  3. Expand Active Directory / <domain>.

  4. Right-click the user you need, point to All Tasks, and select Reset Password in the context menu.

  5. Type and retype the new password of the user.

    [Tip]Tip
    If you reset password for several users at once, you can create a unique password for each user using templates. To do so, you need to select the Generate password using template radio button and enter a password template. To make password unique for every user, you can insert value references in a template. For example, if you specify the '%username%' template, passwords for all users will be set to the value of their logon name. For details on how to use value references, see Insert Value Reference Dialog.
