Citrix Single-sign on does that sort of thing and can store data in AD or an 
NTFS share. It also lets you go nuts with password policy. As usual with 
Citrix, probably not cheap (free with Platinum licenses though)

It also stores logons for all sorts of apps so users don't have to remember 
them. I'm not convinced that's so great, but it can be useful.

Subject: Security questions to reset passwords, locked accounts, etc.
Sent: 8 Mar 2012 18:51

When you register for online services, it seems that a lot more of them are now 
asking for security questions so that you can retrieve your password or unlock 
your account.  Is anyone familiar with these systems and can give me a brief 
rundown on how they work?  Are these typically 3rd party solutions or 
homegrown?  Has anyone heard of using them in a business environment to 
automate the process of re-enabling locked out accounts and reset forgotten 
passwords?  Or more basic yet, are these questions/answers typically stored in 
some type of database or as an object in AD?
