Configuring CAPTCHA

You can add a CAPTCHA challenge to any of your CMS Portal pages to protect your site from spam.

Before you begin

You must have administrator access to the CMS Portal to complete this task.
Note: This module synchronizes the credentials of applications that are created by consumers in the CMS Portal site UI. It cannot synchronize the credentials for applications that are created by the provider in the API Manager UI.

About this task

The types of CAPTCHA challenges that are available include Image and Math based CAPTCHAs. Both types of CAPTCHA challenges are configurable in the CAPTCHA dialog box. By default, your CMS Portal site is configured with the Image based CAPTCHA challenge enabled.

You can also configure reCAPTCHA on your site. For more information, see Configuring reCAPTCHA.
