Change passwords (PSS)

The Change passwords (PSS) module allows end-users to change their passwords on one or more target systems using a web-based interface. If they have forgotten their password, they can access Bravura Security Fabric using another form of authentication.

The Change passwords (PSS) module is enabled by default. Switch PSS ENABLED off to disable it.

To configure self-service changes, follow these steps:

  1. Click Manage the system > Modules > Change passwords (PSS) .

  2. Configure the options listed in Table 1, “Self-service password change options” as required.

  3. If required, configure event options, listed in Table 2, “Change passwords (PSS) module events that launch interface programs”.

  4. Click Update to submit the changes.
