off-topic: password change/reset for students
Good morning Sorry for the off-topic post, as this doesn't have a whole lot to do with wireless, although it's an issue that has come up DUE to users trying to access our wireless network for the first time. We use XpressConnect for self-service configuration of user devices for our wireless network. As part of that process, students must authenticate to our certificate server using their Active Directory (AD) credentials. The problem we are experiencing is that many of our users never use a domain computer (they use their personal devices which we do not put on the domain). I'm just wondering what other institutions are using to allow for self-service password change/resets for AD accounts. Ideally we'd have some sort of webpage that does this. I google'd this and got a few hits for software that seems to do it (providing multiple options: web, windows Login add-on, and even mobile app), but was wondering what the most popular one was. I thought maybe Microsoft FIM had this functionality, but not sure it provides the portion. Any info/advice is appreciated.

Westmont wrote a web page to allow users to change their credentials. It mostly works but is a little long on the tooth and could use a facelift. Misspellings courtesy iPhone.

We're using the Netwrix Password Manager: http://www.netwrix.com/password_manager.html For the most part we've been happy with it (although I don't usually deal with it directly).
