With very large installations of Windchill PDMLink and/or ProjectLink, users passwords are managed by corporate naming services such as Active Directory. With this kind of solutions, you can assign security polices to user password management, like minimum password length, password expiration, dictinaries…
But with no so large installations of Windchill, commonly it is used Aphelion LDAP for managing users and tehir passwords. Aphelion can be used to configure users’ password policies easily installing Aphelion Web Tools module, but interactios with this policies with final users is not useful most of cases.
For example, you can configure in Apehlion a password expiration policy of 2 months for users, so the users must change their passwords before 2 months if he does not want his account locked automatically. But neither Aphelion nor Windchill are able themselves to advice the users about this situation when the password is close to expire.
Prambanan IT Services has designed a simple utility to perform this management, that has these features:
- Customised page in Windchill for password change with the password policies configured in Aphelion.
- Customised page in Windchill for password reset with the new password sent by e-mail.
- E-mails to users about password expirations customisables about design and days before the expiration.
