Require Users to Change their Passwords on Next Login

You can flag user accounts to require a password change the next time their users log in. When logging in, users with flagged accounts will encounter a log in form where they must update their password before they can log on and use Proliance. The new password must meet the constraints of the password policy in effect.

You can require a password change for specific individual accounts, or require that all users change their passwords.

To require that a specific user change their password, select the Must Change Password Next Login check box on the Create User Account, Edit User Account or the Reset User Password dialog box for the user's account. For more information, see "Creating a User Account ", " Editing an Account " or "Reset a User Password".

In some circumstances you may require that all users change their password the next time they log in, for example:

When new password policy settings are enforced and you want all users to update their passwords to ensure they conform to new policies.
When a security-related situation has occurred that requires new passwords for everyone.

To require all users to change their passwords the next time they log in

In the Organization work area, in the left menu, click Administration > Configuration > Security > Password Policy.

The Password Policy page displays.

On the Password Policy page, in the User Account Settings area, click Edit...

The Password Policy - Batch Update All Users dialog displays.

On the Password Policy - Batch Update All Users page, select Change setting for Require Password Change on Next Login.
Select one of the following:

Require all users to change their password on next login. This setting will run a batch process that sets the Must Change Password Next Login flag on user accounts to True. This will require all users in the organization to change their password next time they log in to Proliance.

— or —

Do not require all users to change their password on next login. This setting will run a batch process that sets the Must Change Password Next Login flag on user accounts to False. In this case, only users with expired passwords due to the Maximum Password Age policy will still have to change their password.

Click Apply Changes.
