Hello,I wonder if someone has developped a script that decode the internet password of the users in the names.nsf?
A script that i can put on à view or something that allows me to give forgotten passwords.
Thanks!

There is no way to decode passwords. The only thing you can perform relatively fast is dictionary attack (useless if user/admin implemeted “more secure internet password”).

okay nevermind, i’ll do in another way :-/

No. You need to delete their Internet passwords from their person documents and give them a new default password. Then have the user set their OWN internet password.

I know i can do like that but i think managing the passwordw would be easier if I could make a private view in which I could see those passwords…

That would be a huge security hole and represent inadequate controls/segregation of responsibilities, and would erode user trust. And what happens when you are gone or not available to help the user out?

Anyway even if i can’t see the password, a tool allowing me to send the user the password would be great! Like a button which automatically sends the password to the selected user!

That is the approach to take. Give your users a button (in notes or on a web form) that will set a random password for them and then email it to them.
We use a purchased product called Web-Set-Password to do this, but with some effort I think you could program this functionality yourself.

We use the technique wherein you generate a new random password, save it to the account, and send it to the user. This preserves the integrity of the data and security.
