In your Ztable take one more field Counter. When the security question is wrong. Fetch the counter value from Ztable and add 1 to it and update it..

or display Error message " Limit Exceeded " and disable the answer input field

Hi sateesh,

Take one more field in your Ztable let say, counter. Initally it will be empty.,

Once the user is answering security question.

if he answered wrong add one to counter and update counter to zTable. ,

So if the user answers wrong answer for 3 times .,

You dispaly a message " Limit Exceeded " ... some thing like that.,

and disable the answer input field.

hope this helps u.,

revert back fr further clarifications,

Thanks & Regards,

Kiran

Hello Sateesh,

you didnt tell us whether you want this 3 times try, only for one session or you want this 3 times try for any session..

In the sense, user can launch the password reset and try to enter the answer for the security question. If he/she entered wrong values for three times then you will close the application by informing the user. Now say the user launches the same application for resetting the password. here the question is whether the user should be allowed to answer the security question or not?

if you dont want to provide the option of multiple tries then go for the solution proposed by Kiran. you need to remember that once the user answers the question correctly then you need to reset the counter

If you want to provide the multiple try option, then you need to have this counter variable (instead of ZTABLE) in the view/component controller level and do the check against this counter. Let us know your requirement.

Hi Saravanan,

Whenever user opens this application and tries to reset the password he will be given 3 attempts for giving correct answers, after that he will navigated to another screen to get registered.

Thanks for your support.

Hello Sateesh,

Then its simple. do the following

1. Create an attribute (say MV_COUNTER) of type integer/int4 either in the Component/View controller

2. whenever user answers the question wrongly, then increment the counter.

3. If the counter reaches 3 then display a popup saying your limit exceeded.

4. once the user clicks okay in the popup then navigate to your other screen.

Hope this helps.
