Is there anything new introduced in CF8 for resetting the AD password? Any new technique is being used since this was used back in feb? I am involve in a project where I need to give access to the users to reset their passwords as well as add/delete the AD group permissions to those AD users.
Any help would be highly appriciated. thanks, >It would be possible, but you would need to ask them something that only >they know, other than their password.
