Enabling CAPTCHA Security

iMIS uses CAPTCHAs for security when users have forgotten their username or password. CAPTCHA is a program that can generate and grade tests that humans can pass but current computer programs cannot. For example, humans can read the following distorted text, but computers cannot:

Do the following to enable CAPTCHA security:

  1. Create an account with reCAPTCHA.
  2. Follow reCAPTCHA's instructions to create your Public and Private keys.
  3. On your production iMIS appserver host, open the web.config files for each iMIS application. The iMIS default location is C:\Program Files\ASI\iMIS\Net.
  4. In the web.config file, add the Public and Private keys generated by reCAPTCHA to the values of the following entries:
  5. <add key="RecaptchaPublicKey" value=""/>
    <add key="RecaptchaPrivateKey" value=""/>
  6. Save the files. CAPTCHA security is now enabled.
