# CredentialsResetPolicyType (Complex Type)

### Namespace: http://midpoint.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/common/common-3

Credentials reset management policy. It specifies the management details for each supported credentials reset type. It defines parameters such as reset method.

The idea is that all the password reset mechanisms have the same parts: request, authentication, credential source, delivery. This data structure is meant to configure those steps.

  - #### name

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Name of the password reset scheme. This is a short name that acts both as an identifier of the scheme and also as a short name used for diagnostics.

  - #### description

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Free form description of the credential reset method (administrator comment).

  - #### newCredentialSource

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Source of a new credential value. This setting specifies whether the new credential value should be provided by the user, randomly generated, derived by a key-exchange protocol and so on.

  - #### forceChange

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    If set to true then the new credential will have the forceChange flag set. Which usually means that the user will have to change the credential on next logon.

  - #### securityQuestionReset

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Structure that specifies policy for password management. It is in fact only a simple reference to a password policy.

  - #### mailReset

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Structure that specifies policy for password management. It is in fact only a simple reference to a password policy.

  - #### smsReset

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Structure that specifies policy for password management. It is in fact only a simple reference to a password policy.
