Editing Question Configurations
Before any question can be used to verify a user’s identity, it must be configured to set and
retrieve the appropriate answer for that user from a valid data source. The Account Reset
Console ships with a default verification database which requires users to enroll by entering
their own answers into the application; however, advanced users can configure the tool to use
custom verification databases which may or may not be pre-populated with user answers (i.e.
HR databases). When using custom databases, the Account Reset Console supports any
ADO-compatible data source which can be accessed via SQL for purposes of verification. It is
up to the site administrator to properly create the verification query strings while configuring
each question.
