Java plugin is v7+ only, right? What about the Perl? Thanks,

This would be great because then you could specify [0-3] or whatever, then randomly pull an A-Z if the field1 was 0, a-z if it were 1, [0-9] if it were 2, [<special character>] if it were 3. This would allow you to build complex passwords with rules such as: MUST include at least 1 A-Z, 1 a-z, 1 0-9, 1 special character, length 8, and you could enforce this by changing how you generate the variable field1 listed above, for instance, after you generate a A-Z, if a value of 0 in field1 told you to do an A-Z, you could next set field1 = RANDOM([1-3]) to ensure that you captured all of the different types of characters on the keyboards. This would be an awesome feature to have. I'm thinking something like: Set field2 = "" Begin guide Set field1 = RANDOM([0-3]) IF field1 = 0 { set field2 = field2 + RANDOM([A-Z]) set field3 = "1,2,3" } ELSE IF field1 = 1 { set field2 = field2 + RANDOM([a-z]) set field3 = "1,2,3" } ELSE IF field1 = 2 { set field2 = field2 + RANDOM([0-9]) set field3 = "0,1,3" } ELSE IF field1 = 3 { SET field2 = field2 + RANDOM([EMAIL PROTECTED]&*()_-+={}|\?/>.<,]) Set field3 = "0,1,2" } Set field1 = RANDOM([EXTERNAL($field3$)) Loop guide until LENGTH(field2) > whatever Thanks, Gary Opela, Jr Sr. Remedy Developer Leader Communications, Inc. 405 736 3211 -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joe D'Souza Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2007 10:56 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Looking for a password generator ** I did use what Dave described once in the past in fact and it works pretty good. Just a suggestion, for security purposes just so that the value is not stored, create the guid in a display only field and use that field to notify the user of the password. So when the password is set it is set and stored as an encrypted value but the clear value is emailed to the user. Also its usually the end few characters of the guid that changes, so do not use the left side of that string but rather the right side of it to make sure that the same password is not generated for 2 consecutive users.

Ugly is good. I didn't know we could tap into the guid generator. I see how it works on Email templates but will have to figure out how it could work for me. Thanks for the suggestion.

You could trim it to a set length that would be shorter than the original length of the guid.

I need to create password values to set into two fields via an active link button. These are not used for Remedy logins. I downloaded the password generator on Gidd's site but it only does alpha/numeric with no special characters. It has to be something I can use with the User Tool, not the web tool. I'd really like to automate it. Click the button and the field has the password ... whaalaa. Any suggestions would be welcome! Thanks for your help ...
