[Enhancement] Helpdesk password reset #358

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Current behaviour of the Helpdesk module:
The current implementation of the Helpdesk module allows a Helpdesk employee to 
reset a User Password with a Random generated Password. The random generated 
Password is visibile to the Helpdesk employee. The targetDN ends up with a 
general e-mail that his/ her password is changed.

Desired behaviour of the Helpdesk module:
My current security policy does not allow to communicate any cleartext password 
by wire (phone and/ or e-mail). This makes the current implementation of the 
Helpdesk module not a viable option in my situation. Therefore a couple of 
enhancements requested on this module:

- Don't make the random generated password visible to the Helpdesk employee
- E-mail/ SMS a token to the targetDN which allows him/ her to do a password 
reset

In my opinion both enhancements makes the PWM Helpdesk more secure.
