SharePoint Password Change and Expiration

SharePoint Password Change & Expiration 3.0

Within default SharePoint environment, SharePoint users are not allowed to change their passwords on their own. Therefore, IT administrators have to spend countless hours on helping reset the passwords. This time-consuming and tedious job has made it difficult for IT administrators to focus on tasks of higher priority, which might lower the operation efficiency.

SharePoint Password Change & Expiration 3.0 considerably alleviates IT administrator workload while ensuring the access security simultaneously. It contains two Web Parts: SharePoint Password Change Web Part and SharePoint Password Expiration Warning Web Part.

The SharePoint Password Change Web Part allows AD users, Local NT or Forms-Authenticated users to change their own passwords without administrator intervention. If the password has been changed successfully, a confirmation email will be sent automatically as long as the IT administrator has enabled this feature and completed the configuration.

Besides, to smooth the resetting process, customizable security policy messages are allowed to be displayed on the Web Part, preventing users from coming up with improper passwords. Moreover, the SharePoint Password Change Web Part offers administrators the option of whether to allow users to specify the domain and account. Empowering an individual user to specify different domains and change corresponding passwords will further increase efficiency, while restricting his or her ability to change the password to the currently logged in account only can guarantee access security.

The SharePoint Password Expiration Warning Web Part can prompt users to change passwords proactively through sending them expiry notification emails beforehand and providing a URL to redirect users to the password change page. Fully customizable settings allow administrators to configure whom to notify, how many days before expiration date to start sending notifications, and the content of the email.

The availability of password log file further enhances the capability of SharePoint Password Change & Expiration 3.0. The downloadable log file stores all password changes and change attempts in one convenient place for IT administrators to view and download. Serving as an information tracker, it allows IT administrators to get a clear idea about the progress of password change without being annoyed by notification emails every day or even every couple hours, which will greatly improve password management.
