When running the script that creates a custom alphabet for the Adaxes spell out feature located here: https://www.adaxes.com/help/AlphabetForPasswordSpellOut/

I receive an error that the script is calling an invalid method "ToJson." Here is the full error:

Method invocation failed because [Softerra.Adaxes.Management.AdmConfigurationSetSettingsPipelined] does not contain a method named 'ToJson'.

I use the Adaxes Service account when providing credentials for the script and the error still occurs. The script is on the server that is running the Adaxes Services so I keep everything on the script default except I changed the language code to "en" and the content of the alphabet object.

Hello,

Could you, please, specify what version of Adaxes you are currently using? For information on how to check it, have a look at the following help article: https://www.adaxes.com/help/CheckServiceVersion.

Hello,

Thank you for clarifying. The thing is that in your version of Adxes the steps are different. The instructions in the article are only valid for Adaxes 2023. To customize the parameters for password generation:

  1. Navigate to the folder where Adaxes service is installed. By default, the folder is C:\Program Files\Softerra\Adaxes 3\Service.
  2. Open the Softerra.Adaxes.Service.exe.config file with a text editor.
  3. Locate the configuration\softerra.adaxes\passwordSettings\passwordGeneration XML element.
  4. Specify the default minimum and maximum password length in the minLengthDefault and maxLengthDefault parameters accordingly.
<configuration>    
    ...    
     <softerra.adaxes>
         ...
         <passwordSettings>
       <passwordGeneration minLengthDefault="10" maxLengthDefault="12" .../>
  1. Specify the characters to use for password generation in parameters lowerCharsupperCharsnumericCharsspecialChars and otherChars.
<configuration>
     ...
     <softerra.adaxes>
         ...
         <passwordSettings>
             <passwordGeneration  ... lowerChars="adtmur" upperChars="ABCD" numericChars="123" specialChars="!%#" otherChars="тÜé"/>
  1. Save the file.
  2. Restart the Adaxes service.

Thank you for the information.

My original issue was attempting to run the Alphabet script for making a custom alphabet when selecting the "Spell Out" feature when using the password reset menu in Adaxes.

I assume that my version of Adaxes is still the root cause on why the script would be failing to upload a new alphabet?

Hello,

Yes, that is correct. The script only works in Adaxes 2023. In Adaxes 2021.1 that you are using the changes must be made in the Softerra.Adaxes.Service.exe.config file.
