Configuring Questions and Answers Policy

Questions and Answers policy allows you to create secret questions and specify questions and answers profile settings. Secret questions are questions to which users provide answers when registering with Password Manager. Using the Q&A profile settings you can specify requirements for user’s questions and answers. For example, you can prevent users from using the same answer for multiple questions.

Creating Secret Questions

Secret questions are questions to which users provide their own answers, thus creating a personal Questions and Answers profile. Before users can register with Password Manager by creating their personal Questions and Answers profiles, you must configure a question list containing the questions that will be presented to users.

You can create the question list in several languages, so that users can select a preferred language of questions and answers.

Password Manager uses personal Question and Answers profiles as an authentication method to allow users and Helpdesk operators to manage user passwords in Active Directory domains and in multiple connected systems. A Q&A profile, or personal profile, is a set of questions specified by the Password Manager administrator to which users must provide their secret answers that later can be used to authenticate the users. You can also require users to specify their own questions in their personal profiles. Then, users can securely reset their passwords or unlock their accounts by answering a series of questions from their personal profiles.

You can set requirements for answers that users specify in their Questions and Answers profiles. For example, you can prevent users from specifying the same answer for different questions, or set a minimum answer length. For more information, see Configuring Q&A profile settings.

Password Manager allows you to specify criteria for recognizing users' Questions and Answers profiles as not compliant with the current password management settings. This is essential if you want users to update their profiles each time when Q&A policy settings are changed. Helpdesk operators can force users to update their Q&A profiles if the profiles do not comply with current Q&A policy.

For information on how to enforce update of Q&A profiles, see User Enforcement Rules.

Secret questions can contain the following types of questions:

Table 3:  Secret questions

Question type

Description

Mandatory questions

Questions of this type are an integral part of a user's Q&A profile. Users must provide an answer to each of these questions.

Optional questions

Users can select what optional questions to answer. Administrator specifies only the number of questions that users must answer.

Helpdesk questions

Security questions used by Helpdesk to verify user's identity before performing password and account management tasks. Answers to these questions are always stored using reversible encryption.

User-defined

Questions that must be created by the user.

For users to be able to create their personal Questions and Answers profiles, you must specify at least one secret question.

  7. Click Save to save the questions and close the dialog box.

IMPORTANT: If you add a questions to the question list in the default language, all translations of the question list will not be configured until you change them accordingly. This means that users will not be able to use the disabled languages for creating Q&A profiles. If you remove a question from the question list in the default language, this question will be automatically removed from translations of the question list.

 NOTE: Modifying a question list does not affect existing personal Questions or Answers profiles unless the users have to update their profiles as a result of the enforcement rules that require users to update Q&A profiles when the question list is modified. For more information on the enforcement rules, see User Enforcement Rules.
