# CredentialsResetPolicyType (Complex Type)

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

Supertype: UserInterfaceFeatureType

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.

- ### Items

  - #### identifier

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Display order:

    GUI feature identifier. E.g. identifier for view or widget. The feature specifications that come from different roles will be merged if they have the same identifier. The identifier is also used for diagnostics, e.g. used in the logfiles.

    Although identifier type is defined as string, it is strongly recommended to use URI for all customizations. The URI should be based on identifier that you own (e.g. DNS domain). Using non-URI forms may still work, but there is risk of conflicting with default midPoint configuration.

    If no identifier is specified for a view then midPoint will internally generate a value for the identifier. This internal identifier value is based on the GUI feature definition, e.g. object type and/or collection OID or other aspects of the view. The algorithm for identifier generation may change and the results are not guaranteed to be completely unique. Therefore it is strongly recommended to explicitly set identifier for all the UI features in any non-trivial midPoint configuration.

    Identifier may not be needed at all in some cases.

  - #### description

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Display order:

    Free-form description (comment) intended for system administrator. Description will NOT be displayed as any part of the UI feature. The purpose is to explain the purpose or configuration details.

  - #### documentation

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Display order:

    Technical documentation for a particular object or construct.

    The purpose of this element is to document system configuration and behavior. The documentation will not be presented to end users. In fact, it will probably not be presented at all in midPoint user interface. This documentation element is supposed to be a part of the technical documentation of midPoint deployment. The tools than generate deployment configuration will look for these elements and combine them to compiled documentation document.

    AsciiDoc formatting is assumed for this element. Any leading or trailing whitespace is skipped. Indentation equivalent to he indentation of the first non-blank line of text is also skipped.

  - #### display

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Display order:

    Display properties of the UI feature. It is used to display the link in the menu and so on. Only some parts of display specification may be used. E.g. for views only label is used now. E.g. the CSS properties are ignored.

  - #### visibility

    Flags: RAM,runtime,AVals:4

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Display order:

    Defines, whether this feature will be visible or it will be hidden.

    The default (since 4.0) is 'automatic', which means that all defined features will be visible if possible, unless explicitly hidden. However, this can be changed, e.g. by setting default visibility in the dashboard definition. Also, some hardcoded dashboards have different defaults. E.g. the legacy 3.x end-user home page has default visibility of "vacant".

  - #### displayOrder

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Display order:

    The content of this property specifies an order in which the user interface feature should be displayed relative to other similar features that are displayed together. E.g. this may be used to order views in the menu, widgets on the dashboard and so on. These items that do not have any displayOrder definition will be displayed last. Items with the same displayOrder are displayed in alphabetic order.

  - #### applicableForOperation

    Flags: RAM,runtime,AVals:3

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Display order:

    Used to distinguish for which operations are the configuration applicable (and so visible) If nothing specified, configuration will be applicable for both add and modify operations (and visible for example for panel in details menu). When there is a need to restrict configuration applicability (and thus visibility) only for e.g. modify object operation, applicableForOperation should be set to 'modify'. When we use wizard option, then we define visible only in some wizard panel.

    Applicable for panel (ContainerPanelConfigurationType) configuration and objectCollectionView configuration.

    EXPERIMENTAl. Might change in future releases.

  - #### name

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Display order:

    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. DEPRECATED: use identifier attribute instead of name

  - #### authenticationSequenceName

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Display order:

    Defines authentication sequence, which will be used for reset credential. Since 4.7: it's better to specify sequence identifier here instead of sequence name as name attribute becomes deprecated in some objects which are used for authentication configuration starting from 4.7 version (e.g. in AuthenticationSequenceType)

  - #### newCredentialSource

    Flags: RAM,runtime

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Display order:

    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]

    Display order:

    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.

  - #### formRef

    Flags: RAM

    Multiplicity: [0,1]

    Display order:

    Reference to form which is displayed for reset
