About NetIQ Corporation
We are a global, enterprise software company, with a focus on the three persistent challenges in your environment: Change, complexity and risk—and how we can help you control them.
Our Viewpoint
Adapting to change and managing complexity and risk are nothing new
In fact, of all the challenges you face, these are perhaps the most prominent variables that deny you the control you need to securely measure, monitor, and manage your physical, virtual, and cloud computing environments.
Enabling critical business services, better and faster
We believe that providing as much control as possible to IT organizations is the only way to enable timelier and cost effective delivery of services. Persistent pressures like change and complexity will only continue to increase as organizations continue to change and the technologies needed to manage them become inherently more complex.
Our Philosophy
Selling intelligent solutions, not just software
In order to provide reliable control, we first make sure we understand the real-world scenarios in which IT organizations like yours operate — day in and day out. That's the only way we can develop practical, intelligent IT solutions that successfully yield proven, measurable results. And that's so much more rewarding than simply selling software.
Driving your success is our passion
We place your success at the heart of how we do business. From product inception to deployment, we understand that you need IT solutions that work well and integrate seamlessly with your existing investments; you need ongoing support and training post-deployment; and you need someone that is truly easy to work with — for a change. Ultimately, when you succeed, we all succeed.

Understanding the Client Login
Extension
The Client Login Extension facilitates password self-service by adding a link to the Windows login screen. When users click the
Forgot Password
link in their login client, the Client Login Extension launches a restricted browser to access the Password Self-Service feature on the login clients. This feature assists in reducing help desk calls from people who forget their passwords.
Credential Provider Support
Password recovery support is available for graphical authentication interfaces such as Credential
Provider for LDAP clients and Client for Open Enterprise Server. In the absence of these clients, the password recovery support is provided by the default Microsoft Credential Provider implemented by the Client Login Extension.
The Client Login Extension provides a credential provider filter component to filter out any existing credential provider in the user system. If Client for Open Enterprise Server or SecureLogin credential provider is present, then Client Login Extension filters the credential provider provided by the Client
Login Extension.
Desktop Automation Services
Password recovery support through the Client Login Extension tool is also available for locked workstations and for workstations in which user operations are controlled by Desktop Automation
Services (DAS).
Configuring the Password Self-Service Feature
The Administrator runs the Client Login Extension Configuration Utility and provides registry entries for the MSI file. The registry entries for the MSI file include a welcome note, text to be shown as a link,
URL of the target server, and other required options. The entered values are displayed as fields on the restricted password self-service browser. The user who forgot the password should provide the required values in the self-service browser and retrieve the forgotten password.
The Client Login Extension supports the Self Service Password Reset (SSPR) application. For information on installing and configuring the SSPR application, see NetIQ Self Service Password
Reset 4.2 Administration Guide .
Running Configuration Utility of Client Login Extension configures the Client Login Extension MSI file, which you then install on client workstations running the Client for Open Enterprise Server software,
NetIQ SecureLogin and Microsoft Credential Provider.
The Client Login Extension MSI files are available in a number of different languages. You must configure the Client Login Extension file for each language, including English, before it can be used.
The Client Login Extension Configuration utility allows the system administrator to specify the following configuration information for the Client Login Extension MSI file:
You can set the URL for password self-service.
Understanding the Client Login Extension
9
Specify a customized message for Emergency access page.
For NetIQ SecureLogin versions 8.1, 8.5 or later, you can include text (such as “Forgotten
Password”) for the link to password self-services.
NOTE: The Client Login Extension works with NetIQ SecureLogin versions 8.1, 8.5 or later, NetIQ
Identity Manager and Client for Open Enterprise Server 2 SP4 or later. This utility does not work with any application that alters Microsoft Credential Provider, except the Client for Open Enterprise Server
2 SP4 or later. The Client Login Extension has been tested for use on licensed NetIQ Identity
Manager 4.5 and later systems.
The remaining sections in this guide step you through installing and using the Client Login Extension
Configuration utility to configure the Client Login Extension MSI files. The instructions for using the
Client Login Extension MSI files are also included.

Using Emergency Access
The Emergency Access feature helps a user who has forgotten the directory password to access the system. If a user forgets the login password to the directory, the Emergency Access feature uses the
challenge-response
information from NetIQ SSPR (Self Service Password Reset) to validate, and grant access to the user even if the user is not connected to the network. If the answers to the
challenge-response
are correct, the user is allowed access to the workstation.
To use the Emergency Access feature, the user should be part of an ActiveDirectory domain.
When the user clicks the
Forgotten Password
link, the Credential Provider checks the SSPR server availability. If the SSPR server is reachable, a Restricted Browser is displayed. If the SSPR server is not reachable, a set of challenge-response questions are displayed. When all the questions are answered, the user can login to the workstation for a specific time.
For more information, see Self Service Password Reset documentation (https://www.netiq.com/ documentation/self-service-password-reset/) .

NetWare Login
, then select the
Did you forget your password?
link, the restricted browser is not launched. The
Client Login Extension applies only when you have not logged in.
If the server running the Identity Manager User Application is down and you select the

Connecting to the Internet on Windows 7 (32-bit)
Through a Proxy Server
When you attempt to connect to the Internet on Windows 7 (32-bit) through a proxy server, you are prompted for a security certificate. This is because Client Login Extension uses System profile along with the Winlogon service. For more information about this issue, see (http://support.microsoft.com/ kb/2623724) .
Logging into the Computer if Restricted Browser is
Minimized
If an instance of a restricted browser is running and minimized, you may not be able to login to the computer. You can perform one of the following to overcome this issue:
Use the keyboard shortcuts ALT+TAB to bring up the browser.
Keep the restricted browser maximized by updating the registry settings.
Set the value of DWORD MaximizeWindow as 1 at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NovellRestrictedBrowser
to keep the restricted browser window maximized
Accessing the Windows Input Method Editor on Non-
English Computers
Windows Input Method Editor (IME) does not load if you access the SSPR Forgotten Password page through Client Login Extension on a non-English computer. Without IME, you cannot enter text in other languages except English. However, IME loads without errors when you access the SSPR
Forgotten Password page directly using the Web browser.
To workaround this issue, use the keyboard shortcuts ALT+SHIFT key to change the language when the IME fails to load, and then press ALT+TILDE (~) to select any language.
