Google Captcha allows Web RA to distinguish humans from bots and provides foolproof security against spam attacks or automated extraction of data from the system. When configured, Google Captcha is shown on the following pages:


  • ADSS Web RA Admin Login
  • ADSS Web RA Admin Forgot Password
  • ADSS Web RA User Login
  • ADSS Web RA User Registration
  • ADSS Web RA User Forgot Password


Ascertia highly recommends configuration of Google Captcha to mitigate the denial of service attacks. It is a free service and you are only required to have a valid Google Account to create the captcha credentials. When three consecutive failed password attempts are made on the above mentioned pages then Google Captcha will be launched to verify that you are not a robot. Internet access is required on the ADSS Web RA Server for Google Captcha to load.
