Kisco Information Systems today announces a new browser based, end-user password reset tool for the IBM i platform of computers. The most frequent call to any organization’s Help Desk is for a password reset. iResetMe lets the password reset function be moved back to the end-user relieving the Help Desk of this chore in most cases.

Using iResetMe, an organization can designate which user profiles can perform their own password resets from a browser session. Once a user profile has been enrolled, the end user then activates it by supplying answers to up to 5 personal questions. Once activated, if a user’s password expires or becomes disabled for any reason, the end user simply starts a secure browser session and walks through a reset function that culminates in a new password being assigned and activated.

The browser interface is implemented using the existing Apache web server that is included in IBM’s i/OS. Installation of iResetMe includes step-by-step instructions on how to create the required Apache server instance and then to configure it for secure HTTPS communications. Once set up and configured, all browser sessions are safely encrypted for maximum security.

All activity performed using the iResetMe software is logged to an activity log. These include enrollments, end user activations, end user resets and reset failures. When a reset fails after a specified number of attempts, the user profile is then locked out from using iResetMe until a manual reset is done.

iResetMe is priced based on the number of user profiles to be supported. User price tiers start at 25 users with 50 user, 100 user and unlimited user licenses available. The software is compatible with systems using IBM’s V5R4 software release and higher, including i/OS 7.1.

Complete product information, including screen shots and support information, is available at www.kisco.com/irm.

iResetMe pricing starts at $495.00 for a single partition 25 user license and topping out at $1,295.00 for a single partition unlimited user license. For companies with several systems, Kisco offers multiple-license discounts. LPAR pricing is also available to let customers implement the software in multiple partitions on a single serial number.
