Authenticate with Q&A Profile (Specific Questions)
Use this activity to authenticate a user with the personal Questions and Answers profile. In this activity you can select specific questions from user’s Q&A profile that the user must answer to be authenticated.
You can configure this activity to display all questions on a single page or only one or specified number of questions at a time, so that users will not be able to see next questions before they answer the current ones. To display all questions on a single page, use this activity one time in a workflow and select the required questions. To display questions consecutively on several pages, use this activity several times in a workflow (place several Authenticate with Q&A profile (specific questions) activities in a row).
This activity has the following settings:
- Mandatory questions. Specify mandatory questions from users’ Q&A profiles that users will answer during authentication.
- Optional questions. Specify optional questions from users’ Q&A profiles that users will answer during authentication.

IMPORTANT: Note, if the questions you selected in this activity cannot be found in user’s Q&A profile, the user will not be authenticated and the workflow containing this activity will not be performed for this user. The user will have to update his Q&A profile to answer the required secret questions. |
Authenticate with Defender
You can use this activity to configure Password Manager to use Defender to authenticate users.
Defender is a two-factor authentication solution that authenticates users without forcing them to remember another new password. Defender uses one-time passwords (OTP) generated by special hardware or software tokens. Even if an attacker captures the password, there will be no security violation, since the password is valid only for one-time-use and can never be re-used.
You can use the Defender authentication to authenticate users before allowing them to reset or change their passwords, to unlock accounts, or manage Questions and Answers profiles.
Before configuring the settings in this activity, install and configure Defender as described in the Defender documentation.
|
|
IMPORTANT: To make Password Manager use the Defender authentication, you must install the Defender Client SDK on the server on which Password Manager Service is installed. |
This activity has the following settings:
- Defender Server. Specify the IP address of the computer running the Defender Server.
- Port number. Type the port number that the Defender Access Node uses to establish a connection with the Defender Server.
- Server timeout. Specify Defender Server time-out (in minutes).
- Defender shared secret. Provide the secret that the Defender Access Node will share when it attempts to establish a connection with the Defender Server.
