Re: Password Reset

We have recently implemented the Microsoft Forefront Identity Management
(FIM) password portal and it has worked very nicely for us to provide a
mechanism to for users to reset their own passwords.  Part of our Google
Apps for Education migration process required all users to reset their
passwords.  We used this time to implement FIM, register reset questions,
change passwords, and sync those passwords with Google.  In addition, the
portal works well as the location Google sends users to change passwords
via the Google change password links.

As we move further into distance learning and remote locations, how are
you handling users who forgot their password?  Do you have software in
place that allows users to reset their own passwords?  Was it purchased or
written in-house?   If you don't have any software that does this is it
cost or security concerns that are presenting the biggest road blocks?****
