To understand how Novell's Challenge/Response works, we need to understand how NMAS functions, because the Password Self-Service uses the Universal Password and the NMAS Challenge/Response method.
All NMAS methods consist of a Login Server Module (LSM) that runs on the server where eDirectory is located, and a Login Client Module (LCM) that can be run from a number of different locations.
LCM's communicate with eDirectory via its corresponding LSM. The Challenge/Response LCM is written in Java so that it can be accessed by a servlet or a portlet. The Challenge/Response LSM accesses eDirectory and determines which set of challenges a user will have to answer. Then it determines whether the user will be authenticated to the LDAP server, based on the answers given. When you installed eDirectory, the NMAS Challenge/Response method was also installed.

!!!Where are the Challenge Questions Stored?
That depends.
The questions are stored within the [NsimChallengeSet] entry that is associated to the [NspmPasswordPolicy] that is assigned to the user entry.
If the user has answered his challenges, then it is defined on the user entry, we believe, in the encrypted attribute [sASLoginSecretKey]. In addition the challenges are stored on the user entry within the [SASLoginSecret] along with the encrypted responses.
