New-AdmPasswordSelfServiceEnrollment

Enrolls an Active Directory user for Password Self-Service.

Description

The New-AdmPasswordSelfServiceEnrollment cmdlet enrolls an Active Directory user for Password Self-Service.

The Identity parameter specifies the Active Directory user to be enrolled. You can identify a user by their distinguished name (DN), GUID, security identifier (SID) or Security Accounts Manager (SAM) account name (sAMAccountName). You can also set the parameter to a user object variable, such as $<localUserObject> or pass a user object through the pipeline to the Identity parameter.

The AdaxesService parameter must be specified. The parameter identifies the Adaxes service that will be used to execute the cmdlet.

Examples

Example 1 – Enroll user for Password Self-Service

$question1 = "What are the last 5 digits of your credit card?"
$answer1 = "12345"
$question2 = "In what city or town was your first job?"
$answer2 = "London"
New-AdmPasswordSelfServiceEnrollment GlenJohn -QuestionsAndAnswers @{$question1=$answer1;$question2=$answer2} -AdaxesService localhost

This command enrolls user GlenJohn for Password Self-Service.

Parameters

-AdaxesService

Specifies the DNS name of an Adaxes service that will be used to execute this cmdlet. If this parameter is not specified, and the cmdlet is running from an Adaxes Active Directory provider drive, the value for this parameter can be determined from the current path. For example, if the current path is Adaxes:/example.com, the Adaxes service on example.com will be used. If the parameter is not specified and the service DNS name can't be determined from the current path, the cmdlet will access Active Directory directly.

  • Type:

  • Required:

  • True

  • Default Value:

-Credential

Specifies the user account credentials to use to perform this task. The default credentials are the credentials of the currently logged on user unless the cmdlet is run from an Adaxes Active Directory PowerShell provider drive. If the cmdlet is run from such a provider drive, the account associated with the drive is the default one.

To specify this parameter, you can type a user name, such as User1 or Domain01\User01 or you can specify a PSCredential object. If you specify a user name for this parameter, the cmdlet prompts for a password.

You can also create a PSCredential object by using a script or by using the Get-Credential cmdlet. You can then set the Credential parameter to the PSCredential object.

If the acting credentials do not have permission to perform the task, the cmdlet returns a terminating error.

  • Type:

  • PSCredential

  • Position:

  • Named

  • Required:

  • False

  • Default Value:

  • None

  • Accept pipeline input:

  • False

  • Accept wildcard characters:

  • False

-Identity

Specifies an Active Directory user object by providing one of the following property values. The identifier in parentheses is the LDAP name of the attribute.

Possible values for this parameter are:

  • Distinguished name (distinguishedName)
  • GUID (objectGUID)
  • Security identifier (objectSid)
  • SAM Account Name (sAMAccountName)

The cmdlet searches the default naming context or partition to find the object.

This parameter can also get this object through the pipeline or you can set this parameter to an object instance.

  • Type:

  • ADUser

  • Position:

  • 1

  • Required:

  • True

  • Default Value:

  • None

  • Accept pipeline input:

  • False

  • Accept wildcard characters:

  • False

-Partition

Specifies the distinguished name of an Active Directory partition. The distinguished name must be one of the naming contexts on the current directory server. The cmdlet searches this partition to find the object defined by the Identity parameter.

In many cases, a default value will be used for the Partition parameter if no value is specified. The rules for determining the default value are given below. Note that rules listed first are evaluated first, and once a default value can be determined, no further rules will be evaluated.

  • If the Identity parameter is set to a distinguished name, the default value of Partition is automatically generated from this distinguished name.
  • If running cmdlets from an Adaxes Active Directory provider drive, the default value of Partition is automatically generated from the current path in the drive.
  • If none of the previous cases apply, the default value of Partition will be set to the default partition or naming context of the target domain.
  • Type:

  • NetBIOS name

Directory server values:

  • Fully qualified directory server name
  • NetBIOS name
  • Fully qualified directory server name and port

The default value for the Server parameter is determined by one of the following methods in the order that they are listed:
