Fun Friday. 300+ users that we created usernames/pw for because the new system's passwords didn't expire.

Posted by JaxSean (aka JaxSean) Jan 22 '10, 08:15

Then in December, the third party system we use decides that yes, passwords will expire every 60 days.

Our web developer says he'll work on a script that he can run and will update their pw automatically.

That slips to the wayside - today everyone starts getting pop-ups that their password will expire in 14 days, so they start resetting them. This is VERY BAD for us, becuase now their front-end log in doesn't match the back-end system.

So we've been manually fixing users all morning until the web developer can figure out all the page-scrapes to script it automatically.

total cluster this morning.

ugh.

Who the hell resets their password on the first warning?! -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 22, 08:16 5
- Thankfully only about 20 or so (so far). I might be working all weekend to do the rest, though. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 22, 08:21
- I do, because seeing that warning every time I log in annoys me -- nm - Roger More Jan 22, 08:20 3
  - Who the hell logs out? -- nm - zork Jan 22, 08:21 2
    - It's a website, so it logs you out after non-activity (30 minutes) or when you close the browser. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 22, 08:27
    - It's a requirement here -- nm - Roger More Jan 22, 08:24
