Step 6: Add a password generator to generate default AD user passwords (tutorial)

In this step, we'll create a password generator that generates default passwords for our AD account mappings.

Add the password generator​
  1. Go to Processing > Password Generation.
  2. Click Add.
  3. Enter a Generator Name. For this example, we'll call it pg_AD, following the convention pg_TargetSystem. You can use any convention you want, but starting your password generators with pg_ helps differentiate them throughout the NIM interface.
  4. Click Create.
Configure the password generator​
  1. By default, a password generator generates a random password. Click the [random] cell in Part 1 to see the default rules.
  2. We'll increase the Minimum Length and Maximum Length of the random password to 15 characters, and enable the Exclude Similar Characters rule. The Example Value is updated in real time.
  3. Optional: If needed, you can enable the Use Filter checkbox and select a filter to pull columns from, just like we did in the name generator. For this example, we will use a completely random password.
  4. Click Save.
