Entact ID Reset

The architecture of Entact ID Reset is designed for scalability and security, with key components working together to provide automated password reset functionality across z/OS, Windows, and UNIX platforms. The core component is the password reset engine, responsible for processing reset requests, validating user credentials, and updating passwords in the target systems. The administrative interface, which may include a CLI and/or a web-based console, provides tools for configuring the system, managing user accounts, and monitoring activity.

, LDAP, Active Directory) and authentication services. Communication between components is typically secured using protocols like HTTPS. The system uses encryption, such as TLS/SSL, to protect sensitive data in transit and at rest.

The administrative interface allows for the configuration of password policies, authentication methods (including MFA), and integration settings. The system stores configuration data in files specific to the platform. The product supports RBAC, allowing for granular control over user permissions.

Audit logs capture all password reset activities, user actions, and system events, providing a comprehensive audit trail for security and compliance. The system's design emphasizes modularity, allowing for easy integration with existing infrastructure and future expansion. The API layer, including RESTful web services, enables programmatic access to the system's functionality, facilitating integration with other applications and services.
