Type |
Type of credential store that you are connecting to. A
ServiceNow credential store type is a template that provides the
required set of capabilities for a particular kind of
credential store. Credential stores inherit the
functionality of the credential store type. |
Auto-generate password |
Script include that generates a temporary password for
use during the reset process. If you select the
Enforce history policy check
box, then you must specify a value for
Auto-generate
password. |
Enforce history policy |
Appears only if you select a credential store
Type of AD Credential
Store or Local ServiceNow
Instance. For information on configuring the
setting for an AD credential store, see Configure the connection to an AD credential store.
Select the Enforce history
policy check box to ensure that users
do not reuse passwords. For example, you might
configure the history policy to not allow the user
to reuse any of the previous 10 passwords.
Follow this procedure:
- Select the Enforce history
policy check box.
- In the Password Reset Credential Store Parameters
related list, create a
password_history_limit
parameter.
- Set the value of the parameter to the number of
previous passwords that cannot be used (maximum
10). The default value of 0
(zero) enables use of any previous password.
|
Hostname |
URL or IP address of the credential store. |
User account lookup |
Script include that maps the user ServiceNow platform ID to the user credential store ID. A default
script, PwdDefaultUserAccountLookup,
returns the user ServiceNow platform user name. |
Password rule hint |
Specify the text that appears on the password reset page
to help the user to create a password that meets all
requirements. The Password rule
script enforces the requirements. Note: The Password Reset Windows Application supports newline characters in the hint. Other
formatting is not supported (bold, underline, hyperlink,
and so on). |
Password rule |
Specify the client script that validates the new password
that the user enters. The script is invoked when the user
enters a new password and clicks Password Reset. You can use the script to enforce password
strength/complexity requirements. |
Enable Password Strength |
Select the check box to:
- Display the text box for the Strength
rule script so you can update the
script.
- Display the graphical Password
Strength bar to the user while the
user changes or resets the password.
Note: The Password Reset Windows Application does not support Password Strength. |
Strength rule |
This text box appears only if you select Enable
Password Strength. Specify the client
script that calculates the strength/complexity of the
password that the user enters. The script is invoked
when the user begins to enter a new password during the
reset process. Default settings:
- Selected for local ServiceNow credential stores
- Not selected for other credential stores
Note:
To guide the user during the reset process, the
system displays a graphical bar labeled
Password Strength under the
New password field.
Note: The Password Reset Windows Application does not support Password Strength. |
