While using Active Directory, proper planning can only safeguard the organisation from disaster. Log in is the main key to access all the applications and useful information. Passwords can be guessed, either by a person or a program. So the vulnerabilities in password make it easier for someone to get the password and consequently pose as the real user whose identity was protected by that particular password.

Hence more importance must be given for Password Management. The major threats occur when:

• Hackers hack your confidential informations.
• Hackers and even authorised users try to log on using bad password.
• Inactive users are improperly handled.
• Users fail to follow Best Practices.
• Users try to access restricted resources.

This can be avoided by strengthening the Security Policy and proper administrative practices. Inactive Users Report, Password Changed Users report, Recently Bad Logged on Users reports etc must be tacked by the administrator. Further more, in every organisation password must be reset periodically.

For better Password Management we provide JiJi Password Expiration Notification tool. This tool checks the Active Directory password and account expiration status automatically and reports to Users, Managers and Admins through E-mails. JiJi Password Expiration Notification performs the following tasks:

• Send Password Expiry Warning Message to Users.
• Send Password Expiration Notification to Manager.
• Send Password Expiration Summary to Admins.

Now using JiJi Self Service Password Reset, users can reset their passwords securely. There is a possibility for intruder to call helpdesk, pretends him to be the actual user and ask for new password. This can be avoided using our product.

JiJi Self Service Password Reset allows users who have either locked out or forgotten their password to authenticate with an alternate factor, and repair their own problem, without calling the helpdesk. Hence users can establish their own identity and ensure Privacy and Security.
