IdentityIQ Password Management

IdentityIQ supports multiple login configurations, including single sign-on, pass-through authentication, and validation against IdentityIQ's internally stored passwords. Pass-through authentication and internal passwords can be managed through the IdentityIQ user interface.

IdentityIQ's internal set of passwords are governed by the IdentityIQ password policy. These internal passwords are always available as a fallback login validation for IdentityIQ, even when other authentication methods are used. A user or an administrator can reset an internal password through IdentityIQ's change password options.

When pass-through authentication is used, IdentityIQ enables the specification of challenge questions that can enable users to reset their own forgotten passwords, once they authenticate to IdentityIQ by correctly answering those questions. New passwords entered through this forgot password feature are validated against the pass-through authentication application's password policy and are reset on that application directly.
