    I am having trouble to display "?" Security Questions that are asked while going through ForgottenPassword Tasks. This is becuase "?" symbol cannot be stored in those questions. Did any one overcome this issue??  Thanks, Sai

    Sai,

     

    By using the OOTB 'ForgottenPasswordHandler' LAH along with loading questions as a file from a properties resource bundle, you will be able to make use of the question mark (?) in security questions.

     

    Example of 'passwordHints.properties' file content:

     

    1=What was the name of your Elementary School?

    2=What was the make of the first car you purchased?

     

    Good luck!

     

    Best,

    Anthony P

    If you look at the default configuration of the Forgotten Password Logical Attribute Handler in the IM user console, you will see that the question and answer separator is set to "?" by default.

    I'm not sure why that character was chosen, but it can result in the "?" character not appearing in the questions that you define.

     

    I recommend that you change the separator to another character (we often use the caret char "^")

    Ah yes, that is correct Kenpe02.. I had mistakenly overlooked that particular configuration in my comment above.
