Field descriptions

ID

This is the Language Identifier.

NOTE: A 'Y' displaying beside this field means that this language has been selected as the default language.
Language

This is the Language Description.

Ans / Ask

This is the minimum number of questions users will be required to answer as they configure Password Self Help. A random set of these questions will be asked during the reset process. For example, of the initial 12 questions answered during user configuration, 3 may be asked during the password reset process (chosen by Password Self Help at random). If this field sets to 00, the value from the Ques to Ask field is the minimum number of questions that user needs to answer to use the Password Self Help reset process.

When users try to reset their passwords, this second number is the number of questions that will be asked to Users who have selected this language as their preferred language.

Attempts Allowed [Invalid Attempts Allowed]

When users try to reset their passwords, this is the number of invalid attempts that will be given to Users who have selected this language as their preferred language.

Audit Days [Retain Audit Days)

This is the Number of Days that any audit information relating to this Self Help language configuration will be kept after printing reports.

Action to Take

This field indicates what actions to be taken once the user successfully answers all of the questions asked by the reset process.

  • Re-enable Prf: The user profile's status will be changed to *ENABLED. The users password will not be reset.
  • Reset Pwd: The user profile's password will be reset. The user profile's status will not be changed.
  • Both: This setting ensures that the user profile's status will be set to *ENABLED and the user profile's password will be reset.
  • User Choice: This setting will allow the user to control the actual reset processing method. For example, after answering the security questions, the default setting could be to reset both Password and Status. However, after the last sign on attempt, the user may realize that they know the password after all and only want to reset the Status. When value is 'C', after the user has answered the required security questions successfully, Password Self Help allows him/her to select reset of Password only, Status only, or Both [Password and Status], effectively putting the user in control.
  • None: This will stop any user from trying to reset their password or re-enable their profile. Basically this setting does not allow access to the reset process for any users registered against this language.
Reset to Password

This field indicates whether the password will be reset to preferred password or to the user's own password at the end of reset process. This is only applicable if one of the following showing under "Action to take."

  • User Choice - Only if the user chooses to reset password/Both.
  • Reset Pwd
  • Both
