Report on password resets

Using AD Logga, you can monitor the password reset process. Within this process, there is an inherent security risk.

For example, if a help desk employee secretly resets the password of a manager or executive, that employee can log in with a temporary password and gain access to sensitive information. The manager may not notice this and be confused about why his password is no longer valid. As a result, thinking that he forgot his password, he requests a new password from support.

Using the AD Logga report, you can review all password resets to ensure they were valid requests.
