Changing your password from the web page

IBM® MFA includes a web interface for changing a user's SAF password or passphrase without the involvement of the IBM MFA authentication factors. Your administrator must configure this feature for you.

About this task

The general purpose IBM MFA password change web interface allows both IBM MFA users and non-IBM MFA users to change their SAF password or passphrase. The password change happens without the involvement of the IBM MFA authentication factors.
You might find this password change web interface to be particularly useful in the following situations:
  • With compound in-band authentication, where changing a password can be cumbersome.
  • With IBM MFA Out-of-Band authentication in strict PCI mode.

Procedure

  1. Launch the password change URL provided by your administrator:
    https://server-name:port/html/pwChange.html
  2. Provide the following information and click Change Password:
    • User Name
    • Password
    • New Password
    • Confirm New Password
