   January, 2009 - Password Reset PRO Release Candidate Posted for General Download!   Password Reset PRO web based self service software for active directory has moved out of early Beta and into Release Candidate status. Release Candidate 1.4 has been posted on our website for general download / use, and license pricing has been set by our Sales Team.

We're all very excited about Password Reset PRO's remote employee self service feature set and design architecture, which allows any domain user to securely self-service password changes, password resets and account lockouts via a convenient web portal. And guess what? A new windows user with an assigned temporary domain password can create an account on the self service web portal and change it to a permanent password! This will be a big hit with Domain Admins everywhere.  The overall web portal design is wizard driven and uses image-based security for profile signup just like modern banking websites. No "kludgy" questions / answers to deal with, this is all very modern and extremely easy to use. 

Deploying the software is a breeze - Built on ASP.NET with AJAX interface upgrades, the web self service portal deploys just as easily as any ASP.NET IIS website. No admin functions or user data exists on the Web Portal, ensuring proper perimeter security. The Web Portal communicates on an encrypted channel to an installed back-end .NET service application, which handles the Web Portal action requests and Active Directory functions on behalf of the portal user. A user can access the web portal via the LAN or internet from any client OS and any popular web browser.

Everything (web portal and back end service application) can be installed on a single server, or for high security the Web Portal can be installed on a DMZ server with the back-end service application residing on an intranet domain server.
Combine this with super-easy installation, complete reporting / event auditing, and ease of use for even the most non-tech user and you've got the best new web-based identity management product in its class. No mods to AD are required, and no client software is required. Designed from the ground up by experienced Active Directory developers and architects.

   September, 2008 - Password Reset PRO still in the works!   Beta release of Password Reset PRO has definitely been far behind schedule. Our dev team is hard at work with finishing it up, and we're anticipating beta availability by mid-December. There is quite a bit of complexity involved with ensuring features and security function as expected within a wide range of infrastructures and AD architectures, and at the same time making sure it is easy to deploy and use. We feel the added delay will be worthwhile to ensure ease of use and deployment.

Password Reset PRO provides users the ability to "self-service manage" expiring passwords, locked accounts and change an admin-issued temporary password remotely via a secure web-based identity management portal.  You want easy? We've got easy!
Our product uses intuitive image-based methodology for authentication similar to online banking portals, making it simple for users to create and remember their portal logon ID. 
Users are guided through the portal environment by "activity wizards", making it easy to use for even the most "technically challenged" user. Built on ASP.NET technology, install & deployment is a breeze!
