Specifying the email notification settings

By default, the password expiration email is sent 3 days before the user's password is about to expire and it is sent only once. You can modify the number of days before which the email should be sent and the number of times it should be sent to a user using the following procedure:

To specify the password expiration email notification settings:

  1. Log on to the CP server as the domain administrator.

  2. Open a command prompt window and change to the <CP_install_dir>\bin directory, where <CP_install_dir> is the installation path specified during the Ensim Unify control panel software installation. For example, If you have installed the control panel software in the default directory, then go to C:\Program Files\Ensim\Ensim Unify\cp\bin.

  3. Type the following commands in the command prompt window depending upon your preference.

SetGlobalConfig.exe <control_panel_username> <control_panel_password> "Global Unify Settings" UnifySettings PasswordExpiryDays <integer> int

where:

Example: SetGlobalConfig.exe admin@example.net abc123 "Global Unify Settings" UnifySettings PasswordExpiryDays 5 int

  1. Specify the number of times the password expiration email should be sent to a user using the following command:

SetGlobalConfig.exe <control_panel_username> <control_panel_password> "Global Unify Settings" UnifySettings PasswordExpiryRetryCounter <integer> int

 

Example: SetGlobalConfig.exe admin@example.net abc123 "Global Unify Settings" UnifySettings PasswordExpiryRetryCounter 2 int  

  1. Run the command iisreset.

  2. Stop the Provisioning Engine COM+ service by performing the following steps on all PE servers:

    1. Log in to the PE server as the domain administrator.

    2. Click Start > Administrative Tools, then click Component Services.

    3. Expand Console Root > Component Services > Computers > My Computer > COM+ Applications.

    4. Right-click Provisioning Engine, then select Shut down.

    5. If you have more than one PE server, repeat the previous steps for each PE server.

  3. Restart Ensim CronJob Service on those PE servers, where this service is enabled.

    1. Log in to the PE server as domain administrator.

    2. Open the Services window by running the command services.msc.

    3. Locate Ensim CronJob Service and check its status.

    4. If the status of Ensim CronJob Service is Started, right-click Ensim CronJob Service, then click Restart.

    5. If you have more than one PE server for running the CronJob service, repeat the previous steps on each PE server.

The Ensim CronJob Service is restarted on the PE servers.
