Hello All,

 

I am familiar with the approach laid out in https://www.freeipa.org/page/Self-Service_Password_Reset and how we should use 3rd-party password reset tools. I’d like to clarify why the Change Password link is present in user’s profile, as well as admin users may try to reset their password from Active Users -> <user> -> Actions -> Reset Password. Also, there’s a way to grant, as I understand it, write access to various password-related attributes via RBAC -> Self Service Permissions, which should enable users to update these attributes. Could someone please clarify if I should be able to change my own password using UI considering the above?

 

Thanks,

Yuri
