Hi all,

 

We have a large offshore community that work in shifts, which can mean not having to login to IFS for multiple weeks. As you can imagen, every now and then a user has forgotten their Password.

The user will create a request in our IT Self-help Portal (ServiceNow) and our support team will then reset the password in IFS. Analysis show that 1 of the 5 tickets raised, are for PW resets.

It this not something IFS should/could be able to handle on the login-page? E.G. that you can request to have a new (random generated) PW send to your email address as registered in IFS?

 

Hello,

Can suggest - 

Configure IFS Application in SSO/Active Directory mode. with this AD password and IFS Application password will be same

Other wise the IFS uses Oracle Database Authencation, you can create a portal around that. 

Regards

Pankaj

Hi Pankaj,

 

We have this for the onshore users - for the offshore users this is (corrently) not possible.

Hi,

There are couple of options in Apps 9 logon screen:

  1. Remember Password: Will allow users to save the hashed password for a certain timeframe on their local PC
  2. Change Password: Will allow users to change their current password but they need to enter the Old Password which may not work in your case.

 

We have developed a custom API to reset password automatically and email the new password to the user, once a request is made via email. This is an option you can explore but you will need IFS/Oracle development skillset.

Hi Shrikanth,

 

Thanks, will look into creating a custom API for the same.

Hi Srikanth,

Can you describe more about the solution you have developed for reset password automatically functionality?
