Setting	Description
Is SSPR enabled?	Enables the self‑service password reset (SSPR) feature. Set this option to Yes if you want users to reset their passwords through SSPR.
Are users required to register with SSPR?	Controls whether SSPR registration is Required or Optional, and defines how often users are prompted. Registration is required before next sign‑on: No grace period; users must register immediately. Registration is required after a grace period: Two user‑defined settings determine how many times a user may decline registration and how much time passes between prompts. After the maximum declines, registration is forced at next sign‑on. Registration is optional: Two user‑defined settings determine the number of prompts and the time between them. After the maximum declines, users are no longer prompted and are not forced to register.
How many security questions will a user be required to answer when registering with SSPR?	Defines the total number of security questions a user must answer during SSPR registration. Questions and encrypted answers are stored in the Lynx database.
How many security questions will a user be required to answer when resetting their password?	Defines the total number of security questions a user must answer when performing a password reset.
