Free EditionFrequent password resets coupled with a complex password policy, pave way for a secure environment but remembering these passwords is indeed a challenge for a domain user, leading to frequent Account Lockouts. ADSelfService Plus web based self service end user account unlock solution allows a domain user to self unlock his Active Directory account through a web browser and from any remote machine in the domain securely, and with ease.
Several attempts of incorrect logins forces an LDAP account lockout. Calling a helpdesk technician to unlock your account adds as an additional ticket to the support staff and forces users to wait unproductively until the ticket is attended. ADSelfService Plus software saves users from frustrating and unproductive waits for helpdesk to unlock locked out accounts. This end-user self-service account lockout tool allows users to manage accounts on their own by allowing them to securely unlock their account from a web console by answering a set of validation questions and also without revealing his identity password information.
For any self-service software, the foremost duty is to establish the identity of the user requesting account unlock self-service. ADSelfService Plus employs two techniques in order to verify and establish the identity of a user:
In the first case, the user answers a set of predefined security questions and in the second method, the user has to successfully reproduce the verification code sent to his mobile or e-mail id to establish his identity. You can choose to exercise both these user identification methods for enhanced security. Learn more about the need and benefits of Identity Verification process.
An Administrator notifies all users in the domain to enroll with ADSelfService Plus with the bulk emailing facility in the software. The users can enroll into the web console by selecting from a list of preset questions and providing corresponding answers to them. The user can define his own set of questions also. The administrator can limit the number and types of questions that an enduser has to conform. He can ensure a secure enrollment process by configuring settings from the admin console of ADSelfService Plus.
Enrollment authorizes end-users to self-service their AD passwords/accounts/profiles.
The various configuration options available for an Administrator during the enrollment process are,
Administrators can also choose to enable SMS/E-mail verification code check. Enrollment is not required should you choose only SMS/E-mail verification code, as ADSelfService Plus automatically collects the required information (mobile number and e-mail id) of the user from Active Directory.
Reports on accounts and password status arms the administrator to take proactive measures and inform users on their password status. ADSelfService Plus facilitates generation of comprehensive reports on Locked out users, Soon to expire password users, and Password expired users. The reports provide information on account and password status.
ADSelfService Plus provides domain users automated soon to expire password notifications that notify users of an impending password expiry via email. Forewarning users prevents account lockouts due to password expiry by proactively advising them change their passwords.
