Passwords can be set by default in various ways, and can be configured between LDAP, Automate, 
and other systems, such as Cisco UCM.


.. _manage-your-own-account-password:

Managing your own account password 
...................................

Locally authenticated logged in users and administrators can manage their own account passwords.

.. note:: 
    
   Users authenticated via Single Sign On (SSO) or LDAP do not have access to the Change Password functionality as 
   these passwords are not managed in Automate. However, a user with authentication method set to Local can 
   change their password even if a SSO IdP server is in scope in the hierarchy. 


Self-service user passwords
.............................

Self-service users can reset their passwords from the Self-service Login page. Provided the 
user updates their local user password first and then logs in to authenticate, the password reset 
also updates the Self-service user's UC app passwords, including Jabber devices, voice mail, 
and Webex passwords.
