Organizations today increasingly deploy Mac devices. Due to this overall influx, the amount of Active Directory (AD) password reset requests for Mac devices has grown exponentially, as well. Thus, the IT teams of these organizations are forced to spend a lot of time handling repetitive tickets. To solve this issue, organizations can now adopt a self-service password management solution, such as ADSelfService Plus. This tool solution provides Mac users a self-service web portal manage their own passwords and accounts, without depending on the IT team, reducing administrative time spent on repetitive requests.
Streamlining the Solution
In the past, the web portal from ADSelfService Plus had to be accessed from a dedicated, secure system. This is no longer the case; ADSelfService Plus has introduced the Mac login agent for password resets. The login agent is an extension of the web client, which allows Mac users to reset their Active Directory passwords right from their login screen. The login agent is not a complete substitute the web portal, but allows users to reset passwords from the comfort of their own systems.
What Can the Login Agent Do?
The login agent is run by the Mac OS as a part of the lock screen.Clicking the “Reset Password/Unlock Account” button opens a secure browser, from which AD users can authenticate themselves, and reset their forgotten passwords.
Easily access the login agent from the desktop by keying in the keyboard shortcuts “CONTROL+SHIFT+EJECT” or “CONTROL+SHIFT+POWER”, depending on the Mac version.
