Hiding generated reset passwords

We might want to prevent every user or administrator who can reset passwords from seeing the new password that is generated. We can disable password editing and hide generated passwords.

If we do not hide generated passwords, the users or administrators who are resetting a user's password see the password that was generated.

To enable Reset Passwords and hide the generated password from the user or administrator who requested that the password be reset...

1. From the navigation tree, select Set System Security > Set Security Properties.

2. Select the Hide generated passwords for others check box, and click OK. If the Enable password editing check box is selected, we cannot select the Hide generated passwords for others check box. Clear the Enable password editing check box if to hide generated passwords.

3. On the Success page, click Close.

A group member who can create accounts, such as a member of the help desk assistant group, can reset a password. However, the group member cannot see the new password. ISIM generates the password.
