Password Self-Service Portal
PSSP provides your Active Directory users with a secure and easy way to reset their
forgotten
password without burdening your IT staff. Even in a small organization,
resetting forgotten passwords can be a time-consuming weekly task. With PSSP, you
can nearly eliminate it by providing your users with a web-based portal which allows
them to perform the task themselves.
PSSP works by asking your users several personal questions which they have previously
provided the answers to. If they successfully answer the questions, their Active
Directory password is reset and shown to them on the screen.
The number and content of the questions the users must answer is completely configurable
by you. And, when deployed with SSL, it can be securely accessed over the Internet.
