6 Changing User Password

Users have the ability to modify their passwords at any time as needed. Control Clerks can also activate a mandatory password change and configure a notification to be shown for users whose password change is imminent. In Oracle ELCM, user passwords can be altered through two methods:
  1. Periodic Password Change: A specific timeframe can be established in Oracle ELCM for the modification of the user password. When the time for the password change arrives, upon the user's next login attempt, the 'Password Change for User' interface will be presented by the system.
  2. Manual Password Change: Users have the option to change their passwords at any time. By hovering over the logged-in username, the ‘User Action’ menu will appear. The ‘Change Password’ link should be selected. The ‘Change Password’ screen will then be presented by the system. In the bank level parameters table, which is available to users assigned as Control Clerks, it is possible to specify that a reminder or notification should be shown a predetermined number of days prior to the scheduled password change.

    For instance, the bank level parameters can be configured to display a password change reminder three days before the change is required. Consequently, three days before the password change deadline, a reminder will be visible upon logging into the system. This message will be shown at every login until the password is successfully changed by the user.
