This activity has the following settings:

  • Number of characters: Specify the number of characters that will be displayed on a CAPTCHA image.

  • Noise level: Select the noise level for a CAPTCHA image. The higher the level the more difficult it will be to read the characters.

Display reCAPTCHA

Use this activity to display a reCAPTCHA image on the Self-Service Site and require users to enter the displayed characters before beginning a workflow. This feature provides enhanced protection against automated attacks.

To start using reCAPTCHA you need to sign up and get reCAPTCHA keys on the following Web site: http://www.google.com/recaptcha.

When getting the keys, provide the DNS name of the domain where Password Manager Self-Service Sites are installed. If the Self-Service Sites are installed in different domains, select the Enable this key on all domains check box to create a global key.

Use this activity to select which authentication methods to display in the User site. The three types of authentication methods available to select for the administrator are as follows:

  • Security Questions

  • Corporate Authentication

  • Personal Email

IMPORTANT: The administrator can select any of the activities selected in the registration method, to make it default mode for authentication for the users on the User site. Select one of the settings radio buttons from the right side to make it default authentication method.

NOTE: Consider the following when selecting an authentication method:

  • When the administrator select registration method(s), only the respective authentication methods are visible to the administrator in Authentication methods.

  • If the Administrator has selected Allow user to edit corporate details in corporate authentication of registration mode, a user cannot update the corporate email and corporate mobile number, if they are already populated.

Security Questions

Use this activity to authenticate a user with the personal Questions and Answers profile. In this activity, the administrator can specify how many questions from the Questions and Answers profile the user must answer for authentication.

  • Authenticate with Q&A Profile (Random Questions): See Authenticate with Q&A profile (random questions).

  • Authenticate with Q&A Profile (Specific questions): See Authenticate with Q&A Profile (specific questions).

  • Authenticate with Q&A profile (user-selected questions): See Authenticate with Q&A Profile (User-selected questions).

  • Authenticate with RADIUS Two-Factor Authentication: See Authenticate with RADIUS Two-Factor Authentication.

  • Authenticate via Phone: See Authenticate via Phone.

Personal Authentication

Use this activity to authenticate a user with email or SMS. The email address and phone number used is registered by the user in Register or in Manage My Profile workflow.

Authenticate via Passcode: Use this activity to authenticate the users with a passcode. The administrator can configure passcode length and expiry time limit for the passcode.

NOTE: If Authenticate with personal phone and Authenticate with personal email are both selected, the user will be prompted to choose one of these options.

Authenticate with Password

Use this activity to authenticate users by their passwords when running a workflow.

This activity has the following settings:

  • Authenticate users with expired passwords: Select this check box to grant access to the Self-Service Site to users who are required to change their passwords at next logon. If you clear this check box, users will be denied any access to Password Manager functionality when their passwords are expired or should be changed at next logon.
