SSRPM – Web Interface Edits and Tips

In this blog post we are going to switch it up some, and talk about a product by tools4ever called SSRPM. SSRPM is short for Self Service Password Reset Manager. This application allows the end user to reset there active directory password with a series of challenge and response questions to authentication who they are. With SSRPM the end user can reset there password two multiple ways, one way is via the “Forgot My Password” button that is added to the windows login screen, and the other is a via a web interface. The web interface is written in .asp pages, and in most cases our clients want to us to make a few changes to the SSRPM web interface. Some of these changes can include a complete Re-skin of the SSRPM web interface to give it more of an integrated look with their school, or corporate colors. And in other cases, the client just wants some basics changes like hard coding the domain name in the Reset Password, and Enroll buttons. The reason for this is because sometimes a user might not know what their domain is, and making it easier for the client to either select it from a drop down, or hard code it and hide it, makes the end user experience a lot easier. So in this post, I will cover what pages, and code needs to be edited if you wanted to hard code your domain into the sections that ask for the domain text input in the SSRPM web interface.

So if you haven’t already, you can Download Self Service Password Reset Manager SSRPM > Download. This will get you up to date with what I’m talking about.

There are 2 pages you will need to edit, Logon.asp, and Identify.asp. Both these pages, have the same user form that asks for username, password, and domain. You can use your favorite web pages editor, or even notepad to edit these pages, a free tool I recommend is notepad ++.

In both of these pages, look for lines 65-66 they will be the below.



Here is what it should look like after you’ve done the above web page edits.



After you have updated both Logon.asp and Identify.asp with the example above, try to enroll, or reset your password, and you will see now that you no longer need to enter your domain as an input, making each of the process a little more steam lined. So I hope this helps any of you out there who was thinking about editing the SSRPM web interface.
