Security question feature required for password reset

[Former Member]

Hi,

When ever SAP user forgets his password and he wants to reset his password, We need an option in logon screen to request the user to enter the answer for the security question and when he enters the correct answer, his ID should get reset and a new password should be mailed to his email id.

Appreciate your Ideas on this one.

Thanks

Wild solution...

1) Create a New User ID, which will be used for Just resetting the password based on the security question. This ID will have a password which everybody will know.

This ID will have only few authorizations.

2) Create a Custom Program which will take the User ID and the Question. Also some way of storing the Answer in some table (encrypted).

Based on the ID, the question of the user will be displayed. Based on the Input by the user, the answer will be checked.

3) If the answer is correct, reset the password and send a mail to the user id of the user. (Solution for resetting the password needs some analysis) The custom table will store user id, question, answer and the email id to which the email has to be sent.

Reward Points if useful.
