  • 1.  Self-Service Password Reset

    Posted Feb 04, 2020 04:46 AM

    Hi All,

    Im having trouble setting up a self-service password rest on 8.1/8.5. I have found a useful project and videos here:

    https://www.symantec.com/connect/videos/ad-self-service-password-reset-workflow-solution-part-1

    but when i load up the projects im told that some libraries are missing. Has anyone managed to update this project at all and if so, am i able to get the project files for it?If not - does anyone have any idea how i could change it to get it working?

     

    Thanks in advance.

    Which libraries are missing?

    ---

    Was this from Open Project and the template in Workflow Projects or was it using the Examples Project?

    Thanks for the fast response :)

    I have this form of password reset working but i wanted to use a second option for staff to be able to reset their own with the use of a security questinos and unique ID. We have people who work out of hours and the ability to reset their own passwords. The project in the link i sent seems to do exactly that. With regards to the Libraries - it does not say what is missing. Sorry.

    When you open the project are there components missing in a model, with lines not connected?

    Yes - there are. The first one i can see is teh Get Computer Info and Start Audit Trail model. In-fact - it is that model in the two that seems to be the problem.

    In the Initialization project it is missing a componant between the 'Get Current User' componant and the 'Setup Process' componant. I think the a componant for getting the computer does not exist in the new version.

    Yes the "Get Computer Info" was removed from one of the libs in 8.1.

    But you can copy an old lib, and it will work, do you have a backup from another server?

    Sadly no. Is there anywhere else i can get it from?

    Also - do you know if there is a workflow that already exists for Ad Account Unlocks? To save me having to try to build one :)

    Thanks for your help Alex.

    Support should be able to provide a copy, —- You could use a Code Script Component public void Unlock(string userDn) { try { DirectoryEntry uEntry = new DirectoryEntry(userDn); uEntry.Properties["LockOutTime"].Value = 0; //unlock account uEntry.CommitChanges(); //may not be needed but adding it anyways uEntry.Close(); } catch (System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryServicesCOMException E) { //DoSomethingWith --> E.Message.ToString(); } } https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/18102/Howto-Almost-Everything-In-Active-Directory-via-C#45 See Africo’s article for the same concept Custom C# Component – Adding a Computer to a Group in Active Directory https://atmaworkflow.com/2015/04/17/custom-c-component-adding-a-computer-to-a-group-in-active-directory/

    Hi Alex,

    Thanks again for the help. However, i am not getting much luck with my account unlock script. I did manage to get the 'Add comptuer to group' project working. This is the code from the source that i am using - you can see that it is quite straightforward. However, when i run the test in Script Componant Wizard it fails with 'Script Error: Type or namespace definition, or end-of-file expected.' CAn you help me shed some light on what i am missing?

    using System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement;

    using System;

    using System.DirectoryServices;

    using System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory;

    namespace DynamicNamespace {

    public class DynamicClass {

    public System.String DynamicMethod(System.String userDn)

    {

    // this line creates the authentication context for AD interface

    PrincipalContext ctx = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain, "OURDOMAIN", "DC=OURDOMAIN,DC=co,DC=uk");

    {

    try

    {

    UserPrincipal usr = UserPrincipal.FindByIdentity(ctx, userDn);

    if (usr != null)

    {

    if (usr.IsAccountLockedOut())

    usr.UnlockAccount();

    return "Account" + userDn + " unlocked.";

    }

    catch (Exception e)

    }

    return e.Message;

    }

    }

    }

    }

    }
