General Bot is a strongly typed package based chat bot server focused in convention over configuration and code-less approaches, which brings software packages and application server concepts to help parallel bot development.
Custom dialogs for reseting user password in Azure Active Directory, Office 365, Dynamics 365 or any app published through Azure AD. See also IntranetBotQuickStart.gbai and related MSDN article Applied AI – Using a Bot for Password Reset by Rodrigo Souza.
So the Bot provides an admin mode allowing the user having the Directory.AccessAsUser.All permission to be logged on Administrative interface to obtain and save its token into the database.
With the access token stored in the database, any user can access anonymously the bot and through a combination of e-mail and mobile received code, the user will be able to reset her or his password.
Any user can use a web address to talk to a reset password bot. Just provide credentials that are confronted with Microsoft Graph to ensure security.

This is the case when user does not have the password to login on Skype for Business or Teams, and they need to reset their password, so the right tool is Skype.
Bot Server accelerates the process of developing a bot. It provisions all code base, resources and deployment to the cloud, and gives you templates you can choose from whenever you need a new bot. The server has a database and service backend allowing you to further modify your bot package directly by downloading a zip file, editing and uploading it back to the server (deploying process) with no code. The Bot Server also provides a framework to develop bot packages in a more advanced fashion writing custom code in editors like Visual Studio Code, Atom or Brackets.
Everyone can create bots by just copying and pasting some files and using their favorite tools like Excel (or any text editor) or Photoshop (or any image editor).

GeneralBots aims to delivery bots in azure in a very easy and fast fashion. Use Office tools like Word or Excel to edit your Bot - using code (JavaScript or TypeScript) just to empower custom requirements.
npm install -g botserver and press ENTER;gbot to run the server core.Notes:
mssql.Note:
git clone <your-forked-repository-url>/BotServer.git ;npm install -g typescript;npm install on Command Prompt or PowerShell on the General Bot source-code folder;npm install folled by npm run build (To build default Bot UI);tsc.npm start.Note:
npm test.The subjects.json file contains all information related to the subject tree and can be used to build the menu carrousel as well give a set of words to be used as subject catcher in the conversation. A hierarchy can be specified.
A theme is composed of some CSS files and images. That set of files can change everything in the General Bot UI. Use them extensively before going to change the UI application itself (HTML & JS).
Embraces all packages types (content, logic & conversation) into a pluggable bot directory. A sample .gbai is available.
The artificial intelligence extensions in form of pluggable apps. Dialogs, Services and all model related to data. A set of interactions, use cases, integrations in form of conversationals dialogs. The .gbapp adds the General Bot base library (botlib) for building Node.js TypeScript Apps packages.
Four components builds up a General Bot App:
All code contained in a dialog builds the flow to custom conversations in built-in and additional packages .
Models builds the foundation of data relationships in form of entities.
Services are a façade for bot back-end logic and other custom processing.
Tests try to automate code execution validation before crashing in production.
An expression of an artificial inteligence entity. A .gbot file defines all bots dependencies related to services and other resources.
A theme of a bot at a given time. CSS files & images that can compose all UI presentation and using it a branding can be done. A sample .gbtheme is available
A set of subjects that bot knows in a form of hierarchical menu-based QnA. A sample .gbkb is available.
Shared code that can be used across bot apps.
General Bot can be controlled by the same chat window people talk to, so here is a list of admin commands related to deploying .gb* files.
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| deployPackage | Deploy a KB package. Usage deployPackage [package-name]. Then, you need to run rebuildIndex. |
| undeployPackage | Undeploy a KB. Usage undeployPackage [package-name]. |
| redeployPackage | Undeploy and then deploys the KB. Usage redeployPackage [package-name]. Then, you need to run rebuildIndex. |
| setupSecurity | Setup connection to user directories. |
Discontinued commands:
| Command | Description | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| rebuildIndex | Rebuild Azure Search indexes, must be run after deployPackage or redeployPackage. | Now it is called automatically |
