Love that movie.
(Sneakers with Robert Redford)
"I'd like world peace" ...."We're the government, we don't do that
kind of thing!"
As an off topic....if you get the Director's edition you get the info
about how the "code" speech done by the character Gunther was actually
augmented and reviewed by the guy who is the "A" in RSA.
(okay okay I need a life, I know...)
Passwords are one of the most challenging aspects of security and
networks because they impact so closely with the human element. There
is studies on how brains process numbers and how much we can remember.

*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
