Removing Connection to AD LDS Instance

To remove a connection to AD LDS instance

1. On the Administration site, select the Management Policy you want to configure and click the User Scope link.
2. On the User Scope page, select the connection you want to delete and click Remove. Note, that the connection will be removed from this user scope only. If you want to permanently remove the connection, remove it everywhere where it is used, and then on the General Settings| AD LDS Instance Connections tab, click Remove under the required connection.

Adding Secret Questions

Secret questions are the main part of the Questions and Answers policy that allows authenticating users on the Self-Service site before users can perform any self-service tasks.

For more information on the Questions and Answers policy, see Configuring Questions and Answers Policy.

To create secret questions in the default language

1. Open the Administration site by typing the Administration site URL in the address bar of your Web browser. By default, the URL is http(s)://<ComputerName>/PMAdminADLDS/.
2. On the Administration site home page, click the Add secret questions link under the Management Policy you want to configure.
3. On the Configure Questions and Answers Policy page, click Add questions in the default language.
4. In the Edit Questions in the Default Language dialog box, specify mandatory, optional and helpdesk questions. To change the default language for secret questions click the Change language link.
5. Change questions’ order by clicking the appropriate links.
6. Click Save to save the questions and close the dialog box.

   IMPORTANT: 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.
