Self Service Passsword Reset Hybrid

Copper Contributor

Hello,

 

We run a O365 / AD on-prem hybrid environment for a customer. For some reason it seems that external users can no longer reset their password through OWA, so I decided to implement self service password reset for these users. Sadly it seems that for users on the on-prem AD we need Azure Premium licences. But whatever, we might just move these users to the cloud as for cloud-only users it seems to work just fine.

 

But: Through https://passwordreset.microsoftonline.com/ the password reset just works fine. Only users in my testgroup can reset the password and they are asked for the authentification methods I configured. But when I go to portal.office.com -> Settings -> Reset Password I can change the password no matter if I am in this group or not and the authentification methods are not used neither. I'm talking about cloud-only users here. It seems to me that portal.office.com is standalone and completely ignores what I've setup for self service password reset. How can I disable this for the users? Because if this is an option my self service settings are for absolutely nothing.

 

Cheers

That's password *change* though, not the same thing as password *reset*. So this is the expected behavior.
