Hi all,

I'm stuck at setting password for AD user by MVrule. I see we are totally able to create them by FIM Service & FIM portal but no idea if we have the same thing with MVrule?

Thanks a lot !

Hello,

its not 100% clear to me what you want.

I assume you mean setting a inital password for new AD users (created in Portal), but you want to do that in provisioning code ?

Normally you need only to flow the attribute unicodePWD to AD (PW in cleartext) and doing this once, so in provisioning code, or if you can use portal sync rules then set the inital flow only flag.

Thanks Peter for your quick reply and sorry for unclear question.

Yes, I did want to set initial password and I found the link here

Just one more question that is that possible if we use MVRule to reset an user's password to a text that we want or we just can do it when we create a new user.

Thanks a lot !

Sure, you can let flow unicodePwd at any time you want, for example to activate a remote access account for some time once again.

Or reset user passwords on a specific event or critera.

Thanks, It works with Export Attribute Flow and cannot work in provisioning code.

If I set "unicodepwd" in provisioning (connectors=1) it always shows that unicodepwd is read-only
