API to get all Enabled Security Questions in OIM

The Default getSystemChallengeQuestions() API Provided by OIMClient's UnauthenticatedSelfService will not filter out the disabled security questions. In order to get only the enabled security Questions we can use the following API.

Note: If you specify the order in which the questions have to displayed the following API will return them in the same order.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104

Note: The following Jar files need to be in the class path.


Commons-logging.jar
Eclipselink.jar
Oimclient.jar
Spring.jar
Wlfullclient.jar
Jrf-api.jar

If the Eclipselink.jar from the OIMClient.zip folder is not working get the jar from the MIDDLEWARE_HOME/MiddlewareIDM/oracle_common/modules/oracle.toplink_11.1.1 folder.
