Good Morning,

We are about to deploy a password reset utility that I wrote.  The person will need to answer three questions to get 
their password reset.

Have a good day,
Aaron

Dear list,

I wanted to see if anyone is using self service password reset tools in your organization, I am particularly interested 
in implementations for enterprise directory structures, whether if it is AD, Novell, Open Directory, or others. If 
possible, please share your experience of the tool used. Further, I am interested to find out how are you verifying the 
identity of the person performing a password reset. Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,
