    Customizing Password Reset processes

    Password Reset scripts enable you to customize Password Reset by creating your own credential store, verification, and identification types, and extend them by defining extension scripts. You can also create a custom credential store type, custom verification type, or verification.

    Legacy

    Password Reset scripting is available to users with the password_reset_admin role. The easiest way to customize Password Reset is:

    1. Create custom types and scripts as described in Password Reset extension script categories.

      Extension scripts are example script includes that enable you to extend functionality in a password reset process. The extension script category refers to the specific types of behavior for an extension script (for example, credential store, verification, identification type, or as a post-processor).

    2. Follow the configuration steps described in Configure your Password Reset process.
    3. Select the new types that you created. You can customize the following components:
      • Credential store types: Define new types for how to connect to your credential stores by creating custom workflows for connection and testing. See Create a credential store type for Password Reset.
      • Verification types: Define new types for how users are verified. See Create a custom Password Reset verification type.
      • Identification types: Define new types for how users can identify themselves. See Create a custom identification type for Password Reset.

    Advanced password reset configuration

    You can customize the Password Reset and Password Change applications to meet your organization's needs. See Password Reset and Password Change applications for more information. Also see Configure Password Reset properties for a list of properties that control several aspects of password reset.
    • Customize password reset processes and integrate third-party credential services

      To customize password reset processes or to integrate them with third-party credential services such as Okta or Microsoft Azure AD, use IntegrationHub capabilities. Use Action Designer to create or modify actions like user unlock, change password, and get user status. Use Flow Designer to create or modify subflows that perform the actions.

    • Add a custom question to the Security Questions verification

      To enroll for the 'Security Questions' verification, the user selects several questions and supplies confidential answers that only the user knows. You can add a custom question to the set of questions that are included with the base system.

    • Add a custom header or footer to the user pages for Password Reset

      You can specify UI macros that add a header or footer to the pages that end users work in while resetting a password (the Identify, Verify, and Reset pages).

    • Create a Password Reset verification from an existing verification

      The Password Reset application includes several example verifications that you can use as they are or as the basis for a custom verification. If the verification types in the base system do not meet your needs, you can create a custom verification type.

    • Create a custom Password Reset verification type

      Each verification in Password Reset is based on the settings for a verification type. If the verification types in the base system do not meet your needs, you can create a custom verification type.

    • Create a custom Password Reset verification

      Use a verification type in the base system as a template to design a custom verification. The Password Reset Windows Application does not support custom verifications.

    • Create a custom identification type for Password Reset

      A custom identification type enables the user to enter alternative verification information such as an employee ID while resetting the password.

    • Create a credential store type for Password Reset

      You can create a custom credential store type if the base-system types do not meet your needs.

    • Password Reset script includes

      The Password Reset plugin installs script includes that implement password reset processes. To enable you to extend functionality, each base-system script include provides extension points that you can use to invoke "extension scripts" that you customized.
