4.2 Prerequisites for Using Password Self-Service

Review the information in Section 3.0, Managing Passwords by Using Password Policies and meet the prerequisites in Section 3.3, Prerequisite Tasks for Using Password Policies.

Although you can use some Password Self-Service features without deploying Universal Password, we recommend that you prepare your environment and turn on Universal Password so you can use all the features of Password Policies.

The Password Self-Service features were removed from iManager 2.6 and later, so in order for users to use the self-service features, you must have a server running iManager 2.02. Users hit this server's portal (https://www. my_iManager_server.com/nps) to access the self-service features.

You can also set up the Password Self-Service features in Virtual Office. Users use the Virtual Office portal (https://www. my_iManager_server.com/vo) to access the self-service features. See Section 4.8.1, Integrating Password Self-Service with Virtual Office.

The Novell Client also takes advantage of Password Self-Service features. See Using Forgotten Password Self-Service in the Novell Client for Windows Installation and Administration Guide .

Although users use iManager 2.02 as one way to use the Password Self-Service features, this section assumes that you are managing Password Self-Service using iManager 2.5 or later.
