Password Maintenance Tab

This tab includes fields for enabling and configuring the password maintenance features in eSchoolPLUS and Teacher Access Center. If the feature is turned on, the following functionality is enabled:

• If a user logs in to eSchoolPLUS or TAC with a valid password and that password has expired or if a sys admin marked the account as requiring the password to be changed upon the next login, the user will be asked to change their password.
• If a user wants to change their password in TAC, they will be able to select a "Change Password" option from the menu that displays when they hover over their login name in the TAC banner.
• If a user wants to change their password in eSchoolPLUS, they will be able to click their login name in the eSchoolPLUS banner and select the option to change their password.

The password requirements specified on this tab display for users when they change their password.

• In order for users to be able to change their password when using Integrated mode, a domain account that has permission to change passwords is required.
• The credentials for this account must be entered in the Domain Account Management fields.
• The account specified in the Domain Account Management field needs to have the "Reset user passwords and force password change at next logon" permission in Active Directory.
