Configure a Successful Attempt Limit

Limiting the number of successful verification attempts prevents users from misusing the Forgotten Password Reset or Forgotten User ID task. For example, a user may rely on the Forgotten Password Reset task to reset a password instead of having to remember a password that conforms to a strict password policy.

To limit successful verification attempts:

1. Navigate to the Configure Forgotten Password Search Screen, if necessary.
2. Select the attribute that CA Identity Manager will use to track verification attempts in the Attempt Tracking Attribute field.
3. Enter the number of days that users must wait before using the task in the Successful Attempt Limit field.
