Description of the fields on the Password Reset Credential Store form.
| Type | Type of credential store that you are connecting to. A ServiceNow credential store type is a template that provides the
required set of capabilities for a particular kind of credential store. Credential
stores inherit the functionality of the credential store type. Remarque : For an AD

stores. |

process. If you select the Enforce history policy check box, then you must specify a value for Auto-generate password that is compliant with the password policy. |

If the child alias is configured at the credential store level, the flow picks the aliases connections and proceeds with the request. |
