ANIXIS Password Reset features

Accessible from the Windows Logon dialog

The Password Reset Client allows users to securely reset their password from the Windows Logon and Unlock Computer dialogs. The Password Reset Client is free for customers with a current Premium Support Plan or subscription license.

Intuitive and customizable user interface

Users who have forgotten their password are already frustrated and annoyed. ANIXIS Password Reset's intuitive interface helps users to reset their password without additional frustration. Administrators can easily customize the user interface by editing the included HTML templates.

No additional runtime requirements

It's easy to see how self-service password reset can save time and money, but some systems are difficult to install and maintain. ANIXIS Password Reset is a self-contained system, it only needs Windows and Internet Information Services to run. You don't have to install and maintain a separate database or framework to use it.

Secure design

ANIXIS Password Reset has two core components, the Web Interface (which users have access to) and the APR Server (which runs with elevated privileges). A limited one-way trust between these components protects your network from attack. Even if an attacker is able to compromise the Web Interface, they still could not tamper with the APR Server because the APR Server does not trust the Web Interface.

Password Policy Enforcer integration

ANIXIS Password Reset can integrate with Password Policy Enforcer to ensure consistent enforcement of your password policy. APR displays customizable password policy messages to help users choose compliant passwords with ease.

Comprehensive auditing

Audit events are written to the Windows event log, so you can use your existing tools to search, summarize, and archive this important information.
