Password Change Propagate Mode

The password change propagate mode on the Endpoint Tab of the Endpoint Property Sheet, specifies the way that the Password and PIN changes are handled during a change event. The following scenarios are possible:

  1. If neither the Password Change nor PIN Change check boxes are checked, the password change will not occur.
  2. If the Password Change check box is selected, but the PIN Change check box is not selected, only the user password will be changed to the value provided in the eTPassword attribute. No modifications will be applied to the assigned tokens.
  3. If the Password Change check box is not selected, but the PIN Change check box is selected, only the value of the PIN for the assigned tokens will be changed to the value provided in the eTPassword attribute.
  4. If both the Password Change check box and PIN Change check box are selected, both the user password and assigned tokens PINs will be changed to the value provided in the eTPassword attribute.

    Note: For 4, if the user does not have any tokens assigned to them, the request to modify the eTPassword attribute is treated as a request to assign the password to the user using the value provided in the eTPassword attribute.

    Note: For 3 and 4, if the user has more than one token assigned, the PIN reset applies to ALL of the tokens that are in possession of the user. The PIN associated with each assigned token is changed to the value provided in the eTPassword attribute.
