Hi,

Is there a password recovery option for users with local account who have lost their password?

How can they perform “forgot password” procedure ? (where  DM sends a link through which they can recover access)

Thanks,

Hello Alberto,

I only see your answer now, sorry for the delay. Yes, this would be a very good feature.

We regularly have requests from local users asking for a reset of their PW because they can't connect anymore.
Is there a default expiration period for the PWs of local users ?
If so, are they notified of the future PW expiration?

Thank you very much for your support.

Hi Alain,

For local users, DataMiner relies on the Windows OS DataMiner runs on. In other words, the local users are managed by the Windows OS. Things like password expiration or password complexity can be configured in the OS.

If it’s an option, it might also be good to look at integrating with your existing user directory (e.g. AD/LDAP, Radius, Crowd) or another identity provider through SAML. This way your users only need to maintain and remember one account.
