Legacy Self-Service or Password Manager Self-Service site workflows
The Password Manager Self-Service site has all functionality similar to the Legacy Self-Service site with a new and improved user interface. The Password Manager Self-Service site can co-exist along with the already existing Self-Service site and you can select to revert anytime to the Legacy Self-Service site.
By configuring the self-service workflows you can specify what tasks will be available for users on the Self-Service site, and configure options for each available task. Preconfigured self-service workflows are available out of the box. You can always customize the workflow, add activities to or remove them from the workflow. You can also create custom activities and custom workflows. For more information, see Custom workflows and Custom Activities.
The following are the available built-in self-service workflows:
-
Register
-
Manage My Profile
-
Forgot My Password
-
Manage My Passwords
-
Unlock My Account
-
My Notifications
-
I Have a Passcode
All built-in workflows have required activities and are ready-to-use.
The self-service workflows correspond to the tasks on the Self-Service site. If you enable a self-service workflow, the corresponding task will be available to users on the Self-Service site.
The self-service workflows provide the ability to combine different authentication options in a single workflow. For example, you can configure the authentication activities so that all secret questions are displayed on a single page, or only one secret question is displayed at a time. You can combine different authentication options such as authentication with Questions and Answers profile, Defender and phone-based authentication in a single workflow.
Register
Use this workflow to select which registration methods to display on the User site.
Select registration mode allows the administrator to configure, which registration methods are allowed for registration to the users. Following are the three methods available for the users to register.
The selected options will be added in the Password Manager User site.
NOTE: When the administrator select registration method(s), only the respective authentication methods are visible to the administrator in Authentication methods.
Select one of the radio buttons to set the method as mandatory registration method. The administrator can set a method mandatory from Select the registration method that must be set as the mandatory registration method for users in the User site. When the administrator selects a method as mandatory, it is compulsory for users for registration in the User site. To set as mandatory registration method for the users in the Password Manager User site, select one of the following options.
Configuring country code drop-down menu
You can configure the options to add, remove, or modify the country code drop-down menu.
To modify the view of the drop-down menu to display the country name or the country code, navigate to the location where Password Manager is installed. Open the QPM.Service.Host.exe.config file. Add the required details in the <CountryConfig ShowWith="Attribute"> tag, where <"Attribute"> can be CountryName or CountryCode.
