Notification

Acknowledgement notifications will be sent via email, SMS, or push notifications to users and administrators when they perform any of the actions listed below:
  1. Self-service password reset.
  2. Self-service account unlock.
  3. Password change
  4. Enrollment with ADSelfService Plus.
  5. Self-directory update

The notification feature wards off security threats like man-in-the-middle attacks by communicating directly with the user.

Note: Before using this feature, make sure either the email server or the mobile server is configured.
