How to force password change for RecTrac user on first login or next login.
Problem
We need to force a Password Change for new users on first login attempt or simply force a password change on the next login attempt for select users.
What is the best way to do this?
Solution
Verify the Set password expiration rules in your Static Parameters profile and use options in User Management to create a new user if desired.
Use the Bulk Change option in User Management "More" button to update the "Last Password Change Date"
You can set your password parameters in the Static Parameters Profile RecTrac Password Settings (Management Ribbon > System Management > User/Menu/Profile Management group > Profile Assignments > Static Parameters). To require a new password every 90 days, enter 90 in the Require Password Change Every Days field.
To force a password change on first login :
1) Create a new user and assign a temporary password.(end user will need to know this temporary password).
2) In the User Management datagrid, select the More button and choose "Bulk Change".
3) Select the user or users that should be forced to change their password on first login or next login.
4) In the Bulk Changes Available Fields, select "PasswordChangedDate" and click Add.
5) In the Bulk Changes to Complete area change the Data Field from "Current Value" to "PasswordChangeDate".
6) In the Additional Option field, change it from "None" to "Subtract Days".
7) In the Value field make the number larger than the "require a new password every X days" that is in the Static Parameters. In the above example the number of days was set to 90 so we recommend making this value 91.
8) Process Bulk Change.
Repeat as needed for other user accounts.
