Settings

The settings page controls which features are turned on, password rules and notification defaults. Go to Admin > Settings.

You can override all of these settings for a single domain. See Manage domains.

General options#

Setting	Description
Forgot Password	Shows the Forgot Password link on the sign-in page. Turn it off to hide the link.
Change Password	Lets all users change their own password after they sign in. Turn it off to hide this option.
Remember Me	Shows the Remember Me option on the sign-in page. Turn it off to hide it.
User Profile Self Edit	Non-admin users can always sign in and view their basic profile. Turn this on to let them also edit some basic details, such as email and phone number.
Use UPN as Email	Turn this on if your users' UPN is their email address. AD Web then uses the UPN for email notifications and forgot password validation.
Session Timeout	Session timeout in seconds. The default is 600.
Password Link Expiry	How long a password reset link stays valid, in minutes. The default is 1440 (one day). Enter 0 for a link that never expires. A link works only once, whatever the expiry.

Forgot password rule#

Choose what users must enter to verify themselves when they reset a forgotten password. Email plus User Name is the usual choice. You can also require email only or user name only.

The same section has Return to Source. When a user arrives from another system, it returns them to the source URL after they reset or cancel a forgotten password.

Auto password rules#

Set the rules AD Web uses to generate passwords when you reset a password. Match them to the password complexity requirements in your Active Directory Group Policy.

Email notification defaults#

These settings choose whether Notify By Email is selected by default for each event. For example, if User Creation is on, Notify By Email is selected when you create a user. You can still clear it each time.

Manage rights#

Manage Rights controls what your Domain Admins and OU Admins can do. See Admin roles.
