OIM challenge question complete customisation

Question

Hi,
I have two requirements.
1. My requirement is that instead of 3 Challenge questions for Forgot password feature in OIM, I need a text field which will ask for email id of the user. As soon as user gives the emailid and clicks on submit,the emailid should be validated with the userid provided and his lost password should be retrieved and mailed to his email id.
2. Instead of 3 Challenge questions for Forgot password feature in OIM, I need a text field which will ask for email id of the user. As soon as user gives the emailid and clicks on submit,the emailid should be validated with the userid provided. Then a new password should be set for that userid and a mail should be triggered with that new set password.
Please let me know which one of the above is possible and how to implement it??

Answer 1

If you talk about customization then you can implement both cases but I can't give you estimation like how much time will it take to implement.
2nd way will be easier than this.
If we think OOTB, if you go to lookup and make the question : Enter your email address
You can set Users' Email address as the answer for this question (May ways - sch task).
So whenever user want the new password then he will be asked a question "Enter your Email Address"
He has to provide email address and it will be authenticated against OIM and you can just create an entity adapter which will send the email to user with new password. No UI customization. Just little bit coding.
Even you don't need email. So no need to create entity adapter. So just go to Desogn console and do sm changes in System Configuration for questions like no of questions from 3 to 1 and do changes in lookup.
