Profile self-service

[Mike.Crump@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

I'm working on two possibilities but was wondering if anyone was familiar
with a software package that:

1.)  Verifies user identity through a series of challenge questions and

2.)  Allows them to change/reset/unlock their account.

NetIQ (ie Pentasafe) has something close with their Vigilent and
PSPasswordManager products but I don't think all the pieces are there.

Triaworks (Powerlock) might have something if TIM PM ever sees the sunlight
of GA.....

Due to constraints beyond my control we will be on a NT 4.0 domain for a
while so a good SSO solution may not be in my near future.  I'm looking at
some other types of reduced SO options but in the mean time need to
investigate this.  Even if I can't do self service my audit/parent company
(ie: those bloodsucking night creatures without a real job) demands will
necessitate that we maintain a challenge question database for my end users
so that we can correctly identify John Smith and not be socially
engineered.  So, my drop back position is to have an application that
allows me to setup, manage, and identify end users by challenge questions.
