Generating passwords

You can configure the asset management system to generate user passwords. These generated passwords can then be sent as e-mail notifications to asset management system users.

About this task

If your implementation uses an application server to authenticate an external directory (LDAP), do not use the asset management system to set or change passwords and password hints. All password-related functions are managed by the directory.

Procedure

  1. In the Users or the Security Groups application, select the Security Controls action.
  2. In the Template for Emailing Reset Passwords field, enter a template value.
  3. In the Automatic Password Generation table window, select one of the following options:
    • Always Email Generated Passwords to Users (Never Display Screen)
    • Allow Generated Passwords to Be Displayed On Screen
  4. Click OK.
