Oneof the users is currently away from his location and cannot remotely acces his email and has forgotton his LogMeIn password he is an infrequent user. Is there a way for me as the administrator to change his LogMeIn password so he can sign in.
i see no answers here... did you come right ? as the account main user you used to have control of all sorts of options for the users, including cahning passwords..... all gone now... it seems I am only able to select what machines users have access to...... no other mainenance at all. will have to try deleting a user and re inviting.....
9 years later. NINE! And they still haven't been able to put in a function to let an admin reset a user password. Literally one of the most basic functions of any user admin system, and in nine years LMI could not be bothered to amend this issue. I would say I was surprised, but with LMI, no shortcoming of the software surprises me.
I apologize for the frustration. I was able to identify the account of your user that called in and asked Support to check our email server logs to see if the PW reset emails were delivered or not. They did not see any sent so they triggered one just now. Please have Amanda check her email, and if you would like to private message me the email address of the other user we can check that account also. Just click on my user name to see my profile and send me a PM.
I completely agree that storing passwords in plain text is bad practice. As you follow best practices you, most likely used a different salt for each new bubble project. Where can I find the salt of my project and where can I find the hashed passwords of my users ?
I think that as an Administrator, I should be able to reset password of Passbolt users. Recently one user forgot their password, and despite having the recovery-kit we were unable to recover his password.
Hi @Mateusz,
What you are describing is the ESCROW functionality which will come this year.
Since this feature is very sensitive in terms of security we need to bulletproof it in our specifications.
Also, this feature got some dependencies before being developed (like multi-account on the browser extension, to ensure a good user experience).
We will for sure communicate here on the forum about the progress, since this is one of the most requested feature.
Hi @max,
regardless of the ESCROW feature, I think it should be possible to generate a new private key without deleting the account, so group memberships and entitlements are preserved. This process could work like the invitation email, that is sent upon account creation. So the client can generate a new key pair, upload the public key and the next time someone from the shared groups logs in, the passwords will be re-encrypted.
Or am I missing a major showstopper here?
Hi @garrett ,
that is also important indeed, but not what I meant. I was talking about reusing the onboarding process for existing users, like deleting and re-adding the user with the only difference, that group memberships and entitlements are preserved.
I hope I described it better now.
If I understand correctly you are describing cloning a user account in something like a refresh of the account with no passwords at the end of the process, but all the other settings are retained like group, etc.
I however have a side effect. The Plastic client on the server which was working before now does not show any repositories. If it try to check the branch view of an existing workspace, it says i dont not have permission for operation view. My username and pwd however works.
Have you modified any configuration: client.conf... on the server machine? According to the error message the user you have currently configured in this machine doesn't have enabled permissions. It makes me thing that you have somehow changed the user.
If a user forgets the password for their managed Google account (for example, their Google Workspace or Cloud Identity account) or if you think their account has been compromised, you can reset their password from the Google Admin console.
Resetting a password changes it for the user's online accounts. If the user has Google Drive for desktop, the password doesn't change there. After resetting a user's password, you must reset the user's sign-in cookies.
When I run gvmd --user=admin --new-password=new_password this command nothing is printing in the terminal but when I log in with the new password it is showing Login Failed, invalid username or password warning message.
If you can find a password I would have very serious doubts of the security of the corresponding application. You need to write down that displayed password. If you lost that password you need to create a new one with the command above.
We are installing open-vas in our local host & by default that random password is generated & displayed in the terminal after the setup so my suggestion is somewhere if you store the password it will be easy to pick that.
We create a local user account for administrative tasks as part of our imaging. What we're seeing is that we'll receive a unit with some issues where we need to use that account, and the password won't work. This is not very common, but it is happening sometimes. We'd like to create an Extension Attribute that checks that account and validate if the expected password works, and if not, scope a policy to that smart group to reset it.
Look at using dscl to do this. The authonly flag might fill what you're aiming to do. If nothing is returned then all is well with the password, so just test for ANYTHING generated. The below might be what you're looking for.
Thanks @andrew.nicholas , I created the below script for my EA for that which uses some jamf code for encrypting strings. Not ideal since it can still be reversed, but slightly better then being in plain text and I don't know a better way. I'll probably add some more logic to validate that the account exists first and maybe some more around when errors are returned

So far as I can see, the user can easily do it themselves, so you don't need to. Many of the threads I read were from admins who wanted to give access to a different person, which is something I think Adobe forbid. The license has to be reclaimed, then can be reassigned.
User's need to do that on their own. Each user is responsible for his password with his Adobe id. They need to go to
account.adobe.com and ask for a new password. That password will be sent to their e-mail associated with the account.
I was redoing a bunch of email addresses in various SAAS portals for my users over the weekend, and nearly every single one of them allowed me, as an administrator with a dashboard, to trigger a password reset process. Also, I could edit their information, change their job titles, and - heaven forbid - even change the last names and registered email addresses of some users that have gotten married in the past few years.
I am new to Confluence and have inherited a system configure with Confluence 5.9.4. I have several users who can not remember their passwords and I am trying to figure out how to reset them within confluence. The email is not configured on this system so the link to "Forgot password" is not working on the login page. Also I do not see any reset password options when I look at the user accounts.
Thanks for the reply. That is the issue that I am having. There is no link on =. I have looked there before. However, since I did not set this system up I have no idea what external directory they are pointing to for the passwords. Since the AD passwords are not working I assume it is pointing somewhere else but I have no idea where. Is there some way for me to see where Confluence is looking?

There isnt a default user for splunk. So if you've installed it under a user account named 'splunk', then you need your unix admins to change the password for the account. The permission denied errors would only occur if you changed owner of the files, or started splunk as the root user when it was previously owned by a user named splunk. Every time splunk starts it will take ownership of some files, or tries to... lock files, pid files, indexes, etc. So if you install as "splunk", then start it as "root", then stop it as "root", then switch to the "splunk" user and run $SPLUNK_HOME/bin/splunk start, it will fail due to permission issues. The fix there would be sudo chown -Rf splunk. $SPLUNK_HOME
