Localization for Password Reset Questions
Is there an option anywhere for this?
I would like to have the questions presented in multiple languages.Joe Stepongzi - Identity Management Consultant - ILM MVP - www.microsoftIdM.com,ilmXframework.codeplex.com

You need to define different sets of users based on country/language/whatever and then define different MPR's and QA gates for each set of users.

Thanks Jeremy,
Seems like alot configuration for such a typical task. I would have rather had it depending on what their localization is set to.

Right,
The problem is that many of the questions don't translate or don't havea corresponding meaning in another country.

Totally understand, would just be nice if we could provide multiple questions in different languages and based upon the local language would be much nicer.. but I fully understand why it's difficult.

Actually it's really not that difficult to config if you already have a SSPR deployment using the default MPR
First, you should really understand what each MPR does and why we need them (u can refer to part 3 of my blog)
For you scenario, you need the following
Create "Set 1" to "Set N" Create "AuthNWF 1" to "AuthNWF N" Create "MPR 1" to "MPR N" each is a clone of "Anonymous users can reset password"
add Set1-n, AuthNWF 1-n and MPR 1-n to "Password Reset Objects Set"
Do the following:
disable the default MPR "Anonymous users can reset password" (users not in Set 1 to N will not be able to reset pwd)

Thats not the problem I have with the setup.
My concerns are what happens if a user happens to be in the wrong set? - There going to get the wrong language.. So we must make sure the sets are checked quite a bit. Will require alot reconciliation to make sure we can seperate them properly.
At my current client, I really have no idea how or even if these users can be seperated easily.
Another major concern is what if a person goes from one country to another? Will there questions and answers work the same??
What if you moved to a different country,say from the USA to Germany, your settings are set english, but now all of your questions are German.
Looks like a crash course in German is needed... lol
The setup is pretty easy, it just seems more like a workaround then a true fix.
The localization should be the true identifier of what language should be chosen.Joe Stepongzi - Identity Management Consultant - ILM MVP - www.microsoftIdM.com,ilmXframework.codeplex.com
