RE: [ActiveDir] Password resets

[Robert Rutherford]

I can almost hear a tumbleweed blow through …….   I’ve never seen an effective voice recognition system work in the real world… but would love to if anyone has?   Would it not be easier to go for a simpler auth method, i.e. RSA, mobile (cell phone), finger, token,  etc? You shouldn’t have to worry about lockout issues.     Robert Rutherford QuoStar Solutions Limited   The Enterprise Pavilion Fern Barrow Wallisdown Poole Dorset BH12 5HH     T: +44 (0) 8456 440 331 F: +44 (0) 8456 440 332 M: +44 (0) 7974 249 494 E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] W: www.quostar.com     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Figueroa, Johnny Sent: 10 August 2006 22:55 To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Password resets   There is talk about using a home grown speech recognition system to reset a user's password. You would need to enroll, the system would record your voice and if you ever wanted to reset your password, it would ask you to repeat a word of its choice.   The system would use a service account with the ability to reset passwords and turn on the option to force the user to reset the password at logon.    I am just sending this out to get some feedback. I would have a challenge trying to exclude certain groups from being able to do this, like IT folks with elevated credentials. Unfortunately those IT folks are in the same OU as the users that want this functionality.    Thoughts on any part of this?   Thanks   Johnny Figueroa Supervisor Network Operations & Support Network Services Banner Health Voice (602) 747-4195 Fax (602) 747-4406 WARNING: This message, and any attachments, are intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged, confidential and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.  If the reader of this message is not the intended recipient or employee/agent responsible for delivering the message to the intended recipient, you are hereby notified that any dissemination, distribution or copying of the communication is strictly prohibited.  If you receive this communication in error, please notify us immediately
