Self-Service Unlock Not Showing in IIQ 8.4

Version

8.4

Configuration Steps

I’ve enabled Account Unlock in the configuration:

I’ve also added the user I want to test with into the QuickLinks Population:

When I try to log in as that user, I see that the account is locked:

However, I don’t see an option for Self-Service Account Unlock.

Question

Am I missing something? Where should the self-service account unlock option appear?

If I misunderstood how this feature is supposed to work, please let me know. I’d really appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction—either where this feature should show up or how to enable it properly.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @fewthiraphat

I believe this requires additional integration configuration.

When I try to enable these features, getting following warning message, I am curious you didn’t get pop like this? “warnings indicating that certain self-service functionalities for end-users are not fully configured and thus will not work.”

Potential Problems Detected:

The Following potential problems were detected, click OK to save or Cancel.

*There are no integrations configured that can unlock account. You must configure at least one before using Account Unlock.
*There are no pass through applications configured. You must configure at least one before using Forgot Password.

We need to configure the provisioning policies:

open your application – > Configuration – > Provisioning Policies

here you can find option to configure/add policies

  • enable account
  • disable account
  • unlock account

When I dig further, I found an option to unlock the account:
Manage Identity – View Identity – Accounts – under Actions column
click on the actions column three lines icon you will find unlock option.

Hi @pattabhi , I tried by following your step but I found this, I don’t have an unlock action, my console just have a delete action.

It is strange:
check with your spadmin user or user who has admin privilege, you will find the option.

but in my case I can find when I login with end user itself.

I tried in 2 cases, admin and that user, it show just delete same.

Is it work with Delimited Authoritative Source?

Hi @fewthiraphat

I have enabled couple of options from Global Settings – Login Configuration – Login settings & user reset (enable forgot password)

the use cases I have tested and my observation:
when end user first attempt to log in it is prompting to reset the password and security questions to unlock the account.

When I try to enter the wrong password for 5 times , the account has been locked as per settings.

now login with admin user – manage identity – view identity – search for the locked account identity – > Click on Manage

Here I observed locked account and there is an option to unlock icon on the profile itself, I click on it, account has been unlocked.

not sure whether these use cases are relevant to your self service unlock account.

Hi @fewthiraphat

Let me validate in my fresh installation of 8.4p2, see whether I could find some thing useful for your requirement.

Hi @fewthiraphat you can navigate to Global Settings → Login Configurations → Login Settings → Pass Through Application.
In the Pass Through Application option, select the application that is used by IdentityIQ to provide login accounts. You will also find a few additional options to configure here.

Once done, log out as the user. On the login UI page, you should see the Unlock Account option.

Note: Make sure that security questions are set up for the user who is trying to log in and unlock the account.

Thanks, Raju

I’m pretty sure not all application definitions have the unlock functionality as an operation. If you are using a delimited file you usually don’t ‘lock’ an identity in a delimited file.
How are you defining the lock status in the application definition?

Hi @karena, thank you I tried, and now I got the Unlock Account showing right now, but i think it still not match with my requirement, I want it show on the Manage Account in each account per application.

Hi @karena, I defined it on the application object in the debug page, I added UNLOCK into featuresString, so the the moment I got the Unlock feature in Manage Account, but I agreed with you it can not ‘Unlock’ with Delimited Application.

Hi @pattabhi, Thank you for your advise, I tried it and it works, even still not match with my requirement, but this is quite useful, thank you again for your sharing :smiley:

Hello Everyone, Thank you for your help, I just found the solution of this topic that match for me.

First, I added the ‘UNLOCK’ in featuresString for application that I interested

And then I add this into the attribute under the Link in Identity that I want to lock

 <entry key="IIQLocked" value="true"/>

and now it works, thank you for everyone help again, and hope you all have a good day!
