Is this something that can be accomplished? If it's something that can be done, we'd love to make that happen at our organization. It'd solve a few different problems and would save us all some time. Thanks!

Updating Passwords in Active Directory with Laserfiche Forms
Replies
Hi Ryan,
Assuming you're talking about something like a "Password Update/Reset" form, I would not recommend it. Anything a user enters into a forms field (such as a new password) will become part of the forms instance history and viewable by administrators. Passwords should never be stored in their plaintext values, and even enabling something like SQL Server Transparent Database Encryption does not change that you're capturing and storing the true password value rather than a properly salted and hashed one.
There are a whole bunch of solutions out there that provide AD password reset functionality and are designed for it. Here are a few I found:
https://github.com/pwm-project/pwm
https://www.manageengine.com/products/self-service-password/
https://thycotic.com/products/password-reset-server/
Note that Laserfiche has not vetted and does not formally endorse any of these solutions.
