Access Manager provides a Password Reset service to allow users to receive an email message containing a new password or to reset their password for access to a given service or application protected by Access Manager. The Password Reset attributes are realm attributes. The attributes are:

This field allows you to add a list of questions that the user can use to reset his/her password. To add a question, type it in the Secret Question filed and click Add. The selected questions will appear in the user's User Profile page. The user can then select a question for resetting the password. Users may create their own question if the Personal Question Enabled attribute is selected.
This attribute specifies the search filter to be used to find user entries.
This attribute specifies the DN from which the user search will start. If no DN is specified, the search will start from the realm DN. You should not use cn=directorymanager as the base DN, due to proxy authentication conflicts.

This attribute determines the method for user notification of password resetting. The default classname is: com.sun.identity.password.EmailPassword The password notification class can be customized through a plug-in.
