Identity Manager is a comprehensive Identity management solution that provides secure access to web and enterprise applications. Identity Manager also provides seamless single sign-on across technical and organizational boundaries.
Self Service Password Reset integrates with Identity Manager to manage passwords for all the users who access the identity applications. This integration is possible if Self Service Password Reset is installed with Identity Manager by using Integrated Installer, or if Self Service Password Reset is installed as a standalone product and configured with Identity Manager. When a user enters the credentials to access an identity application, the request is sent to Self Service Password Reset and the user is allowed to access the web pages depending on the password policy that is defined for the user.
There are two different ways to integrate Self Service Password Reset with Identity Manager: use the integrated installer or integrate a standalone Self Service Password Reset deployment with Identity Manager. If you use the integrated installer for Identity Manager there are fewer configuration steps to complete.
