New version of Tools4ever’s password reset solution meets highest security standards

Tools4ever, the market leader in identity governance and administration (IGA), has released an entirely updated version of Self Service Reset Password Management (SSRPM). This latest version features a complete rebuild of the graphical user interface, allowing users to benefit from a new intuitive web experience and desktop client.

SSRPM now also supports two-factor authentication during the enrollment process. During the enrollment process users optionally must enter a PIN number — sent by email or SMS — to authenticate themselves.

For security, the original ASP web pages have now been rebuilt with C#/ASP.NET and the solution is compliant with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). The look and feel of the user interface, for instance its use of color and logos, can also be easily configured and modified to suit the organization’s needs.

Other new features developed for extra security include:

· Re-authentication with login credentials at the start of the enrollment process

· Password change events are no longer logged in the database

· A new Captcha library

· Multiple email addresses are no longer permitted when validating an email

Jacques Vriens, general manager of Tools4ever BV, said: “The graphical interface is the key to the effective and user-friendly use of software. We have devoted a great deal of attention to this in this version. Our SSRPM software occupies a central area in the network because it communicates with Active Directory. This is why we have had our software tested against a variety of security risks. We can assure our clients that our solution is guaranteed to be secure in their network environments.”

With Self Service Reset Password Management, end-users can reset their own Active Directory passwords by answering a number of challenge questions, such as “In which town or city did you meet your spouse?” or “Where was your oldest child born?” The “Forgot my password” button is integrated in the Windows login screen. With one click, the end user can open SSRPM and can reset their own password, which eases the workload of the helpdesk.

The latest password reset solution has been audited by a leading consultancy agency, and meets the highest security standards.
