To prevent bot attacks against your One Identity Password Manager deployment, you can configure anti-bot security measures for the Find User page of the Self-Service Site. Password Manager supports configuring CAPTCHA images and reCAPTCHA v2 or v3 security solutions.
You can configure the One Identity Password Manager Self-Service Site to display CAPTCHA images on its Find User page as an anti-bot security measure.
To configure CAPTCHA images for the Self-Service Site
-
In the Password Manager Administration Site, navigate to General Settings > Search and Logon Options.
-
Scroll down to Security Settings.
-
To enable the CAPTCHA or reCAPTCHA settings, enable Show a security image to prevent bot attacks.
-
To configure the CAPTCHA settings, select Display CAPTCHA and click Settings.
-
In the CAPTCHA Settings dialog, configure the following options:
-
Number of characters: Specify the number of characters (1–15) to display on the generated CAPTCHA image. The default value is 5.
-
Noise level: Specify the number and size of noise artifacts on the generated CAPTCHA image. Higher levels mean more difficult readability.
When ready, click OK.
-
Under Security Settings, select Show a security image every time the search is performed to perform the configured anti-bot protection check each time a search is performed on the Find User page of the Self-Service Site.
TIP: Enable this setting for an increased protection against bot attacks.
-
To apply your settings, click Save.
You can configure the Find User page of the One Identity Password Manager Self-Service Site to include reCAPTCHA anti-bot protection. Password Manager supports the reCAPTCHA v2 and v3 engines.
NOTE: Password Manager supports only the "I'm not a robot" Checkbox challenge of reCAPTCHA v2. It does not support the Invisible reCAPTCHA badge and reCAPTCHA Android app validations.
Prerequisites
Before you configure reCAPTCHA v2 or v3 protection for the Password Manager Self-Service Site, make sure that the following conditions are met:
-
The server running Password Manager has an active Internet connection and can communicate with the Google reCAPTCHA endpoint.
-
You must sign up and generate a reCAPTCHA site key and secret key from Google. For more information, see the Google reCAPTCHA portal.
NOTE: When generating the keys on the Google reCAPTCHA Admin site, provide the domain name(s) where the Password Manager Self-Service Site(s) are deployed. If multiple Self-Service Sites are deployed in several different domains, provide all the domains to generate the required number of site keys and secret keys.
