I'm running a verified registration portal with DNN 4.3.5 on a SQL 2k db
Due to alot of my users forgetting their passwords I would like to setup the requiresQuestionAndAnswer feature but have been unable to find alot of detailed information about the topic.

My Questions are
Is it possible to use this on a verified portal where password retrival is set to true and the passwords are encrypted?
If its possible where to i set the question(s) I want the users to supply an answer to?
How do I force existing users to supply an answer the next time the log on?

Hope someone can help

I have attempted to get this to work and have given up at this point. Here is what I know.

It is possible to configure this via a setting in web.config by setting the following value to "true":

requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true"  This is a setting in the "AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" section.

This will set the requirement for all portals in the DNN instance and I have not found any way to set this for a specific portal. You must use encrypted passwords. The questions are not set by you, the user determines what single question they will be asked and provide their own answer.

Under the portal user settings, if you check the "Require valid profile to login" and "Require valid profile to register" (might not be exact wording), exisiting users will have to fill in the question/answer, as will new registrants.

OK. Now the problem. When the "forgot password?" link is selected on the login page, the dialog presented provides no mechanism to actually request the question/answer form. So unless this has been fixed in 4.3.6, it just doesn't work.

I should have posted this in gemini when I found the problem, as I did when I originally found problems with allowing the user to actually see and enter the question/answer fields. That got fixed in 4.3.5, but when I couldn't use it, and needed to move on, I gave up and resorted to allowing passwords sent in emails, which I really don't like.

Thanks rob

Will just have to live without it so, its a shame really.
I had a look at the gemini change log
http://support.dotnetnuke.com/issue/ViewIssue.aspx?id=3747 is this the error you are talking about
Maybe you could add the "new" problem to gemini

Hi Michael,

Yes, that is the error I posted, which was fixed in 4.3.5. I will add the new problem soon.
