Redirect Users to Change Their Passwords

Overview of Password Expiration settings

This topic describes how to configure Password Expiration properly, which is part of the Password Management Toolkit. It is assumed that the Web Part is properly installed, added to the desired page and the Active Directory Settings and SharePoint Settings options are configured.

Note: When Password Expiration is installed, the Bamboo Password Expiration Reminder Web Part is added to the Web Part Gallery.

Step Action
1. To configure the Active Directory Settings and SharePoint Settings options, follow the steps described in Configuring the Password Expiration Web Part.
2.

Expand the Password Expiration Rules option. Fill in the following sections:

  • Redirect Page URL: the user is automatically redirected to this URL.
  • Grace period: if the password of the currently logged in account expires in fewer days than specified in the Grace period, the currently logged in user is redirected to a different page based on the Web Part configuration.
3. Next, select the Automatically redirect users to the above URL option.

NOTE: After successfully configuring the Web Part, the currently logged in user is automatically redirected to the specified URL if their password expires within the specified grace period. If the user’s password does not expire within the defined grace period, no text is displayed. Bamboo Solutions recommends setting the Web Part’s Chrome Type in the Web Part Tool Pane under the Appearance option to None for improved user experience. Additionally, Bamboo Solutions recommends the purchase and integration of Password Change to meet the need of a password change control.
