Configuring Password Management
Administrators can configure password functionality so end users can change their Oracle Access Management password during Oracle Universal Authenticator (OUA) login. For example, if a user has forgotten a password, or if the password has expired or is about to expire, administrators can configure Oracle Universal Authenticator with the relevant links, so end users can perform a password reset.
Administrators can set the following parameters within the Oracle Advanced
Authentication installation:
| Parameter | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
oua.drss.password.reset.forgoturl |
Specifies the URL where users can initiate the forgot password process. This is the URL accessed when users click the Forgot Password link during login with OUA. Through this URL, users will be guided to reset their password by utilizing the password reset mechanism configured for their account. | |
oua.drss.password.reset.url |
Defines the URL where users can change their password. This is the URL accessed when users click the Change Password during login with OUA. Accessing this URL allows users to verify their identity, through mechanisms configured to create a new password for their account. | |

chrome, firefox | Outlines the browsers supported by the system. When a forgot URL
or reset URL is called from within OUA, a browser is opened.
Note: In this release, only Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox are supported. |
