3.0 Synchronizing Identity Manager Forgotten Password Challenge Response with the SecureLogin Passphrase

This solution requires Identity Manager and SecureLogin.

Identity Manager and SecureLogin both enable users to recover from forgotten or unknown passwords. Identity Manager uses Challenge Response to enable users to replace a forgotten password, with a new password. SecureLogin uses passphrases to enable users to reset a forgotten password or change an old password to a new one.

Identity Manager Challenge Response and the SecureLogin Passphrase are similar mechanisms. Both use a challenge question and response to authenticate in place of a password and then present the user with an interface to reset the password. For users who manage passwords through both products, maintaining two sets of challenge questions and responses can be confusing.

The following sections provide information to help you configure Identity Manager Challenge Response and the SecureLogin Passphrase to use the same challenge questions.
