Configuring Management Policy

After initializing the Administration site, you need to configure the default Management Policy to enable users to use the Self-Service site.

The required settings you need to configure for the Management Policy are a user scope and secret questions.

Configuring User Scope

To configure the user scope, add one or more domain connections. Domain connections created for the user scope can also be used in the Helpdesk scope and password policies. The same domain connection can be used in different management policies. Wherever you create a domain connection, you can use it elsewhere, that is, a domain connection configured for password policies can be used in the Helpdesk scope.

To manage all domain connections from a single place, click General Settings | Domain Connections on the Administration site. For more information, view Domain Connections .
