Windows GINA

So as I was going along promising customers that the Password Portal would be released with MIIS SP2 I was caught like a fish out of water. The Password Portal was pulled from SP2 and the customer was not happy at all.

I had promised them a Password Portal so I had to deliver this now! So I went about learning how the GINA worked and came up with a solution. On the GINA I added a link "Forget" which when the user clicks fires a .net 2.0 application. This application is in a Wizard form. It will ask you a predefined amount of Administrative questions (setup by the administrator) and then a predefined amount of "user" questions which are created by the user.

If the user successfully answers every question they will have an opportunity to specify the new password and their password will be reset.

Below is a few screen shots of the Gina and the Wizard:

GINA

Wizard 1 - Welcome screen

Wizard 2 - Accept Company License

Wizard 3 - Administrator Questions

Wizard 4 - Personal Questions

Wizard 5 - Summary of your questions

Carlos,

If your customer needed the 'Forgot?' link badly you could have also pointed out Quest Software's Password Manager product. This product is also a GINA extension, also lets administrators predefine questions, also lets users make their own questions and even has a little thingy for people that forget their passwords after they lock their workstations. (Yes, they do tend to get that silly sometimes Confused )

Of course this wouldn't be as cool as writing your own GINA extensions and even writing features for an awesome product like MIIS to be released in a Service Pack!
