Authenticate with Q&A Profile (Random Questions)
Use this activity to authenticate a user with the personal Questions and Answers profile. In this activity, you can specify how many questions from the Questions and Answers profile the user must answer to be authenticated. However, you cannot select specific questions from the user’s Q&A profile. To require users to answer specific questions from their Q&A profiles, use the Authenticate with Q&A profile (specific questions) activity.
You can configure this activity to display all questions on a single page or only one or the 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. To display questions consecutively on several pages, use this activity several times in a workflow (place several Authenticate with Q&A profile (random questions) activities in a row).
This activity has the following settings:
-
All questions from user’s Q&A profile: Select this option to have users answer all questions from their Q&A profiles during authentication.
-
This number of randomly selected questions: Select this option to set the number of questions required to authenticate users. You can specify what types of secret questions (mandatory, optional, or user-defined) to use when authenticating the user by selecting the corresponding check boxes.
-
Do the following if the number of questions in user’s Q&A profile is less than specified: Using this option, you can either allow or prohibit authentication for users if their Q&A profiles do not have enough secret questions. If you allow authentication, then all questions from the Q&A profile will be used to authenticate the user. If you decide to prohibit authentication, the workflow in which this activity is used will not be performed. The user will have to update their Q&A profile first, after that they will be able to perform the task that contains this authentication activity.
-
Allow users to see what questions were answered incorrectly: Select this check box to allow users to see which questions they answered incorrectly during authentication.
