On 7.1 there is the "Disable Password Management For This User" checkbox
All you would have to do is to add code to set that field automatically if the password is null Fred -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Durling Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2008 8:49 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Who has done any password management while using AREA LDAP Authentication I haven't used Remedy's password management, but Roger's suggestion sounds good if Remedy will let you evaluate the password field contents in a qualification. I don't think it will let you directly do that, though. If that's true, how about a naming convention on the utility accounts that you could search against (i.e., util-1, util-2, etc.), or perhaps even adding an (admittedly unsupported) selection field on the User form to mark the accounts you want to exclude.
