Hi Team,


We are using Saviynt v5.5 SP2.


Can anyone please clarify below queries related to new user password


1) When a user is created in Saviynt, where the password is getting stored. How can we get this password & re-login in Saviynt to check.


2) How to send the initial user password via email notification once the AD account gets created ?


3) Is AD SSL connectivity is required for sending user password Or it can be sent without SSL also ?


Thanks,

Sitarasmi

Hello,

Please find below some answers and insights :

1) When a user is created in Saviynt, a random password is stored in the users table. For identities created from UI, we can setup a default dynamic attribute to insert a custom password for each user.

Since you might talk about a password to be sent after an AD account is created, does it mean you'd use ADFS to leverage SSO in Saviynt ?

2) If you're talkin about the AD account initial password, this one can be sent to the user when a "New Account" task is completed, by configuring the endpoint's Email Templates (screenshot below)

In the email template you can specify the ${randomPassword} variable that takes the generated password for this account with the policy defined in the AD connector.


3) I don't think SSL connectivity is a requirement but of course it is recommended for production setup.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Adrien

Hi Sitarami,


If you are creating the users from ARS > Create user request and use a dynamic attribute like below:



In the above case, you can use the view option and take a note of the password or enter the password manually. Otherwise, there is no way to fetch the initial user password as of now.


The other way to go about it is to reset the user password from Admin function or Reset User password and the password can be sent in email. In this case, you will have to configure the email template in User scope password policy. This feature is available from 55SP2 and above.



Also, if you are using 55SP2 and above, you can set up Step Up Authentication (for Forgot password) and add user's email/phone number information. In this case, users can use Forgot password to set up their initial password.

Saparja
