CA eTrust GINA Option for Password Reset/Unlock 8.120

CA eTrust GINA Option for Password Reset/Unlock, developed by Computer Associates, is an add-on for Windows systems that extends the standard logon dialog to enable secure, self-service password reset and account unlock. It integrates with CA’s eTrust password management and identity infrastructure so users can regain access without calling the help desk, even when they can’t sign in to Windows.

Key capabilities:

• Self-service at the logon screen: Adds a “reset/unlock” option to the Windows Ctrl+Alt+Del prompt for users who have forgotten their password or triggered an account lockout.
• Policy-driven verification: Uses the organization’s configured verification methods (such as challenge/response questions or other approved checks) before allowing a reset or unlock.
• Directory and infrastructure integration: Works with enterprise directories such as Microsoft Active Directory and leverages centralized policies defined in the eTrust environment.
• Centralized control and auditing: Enforces corporate password policies and provides an audit trail for security and compliance requirements.
• Reduced support costs and downtime: Lowers password-related help desk calls and helps users get back to work faster.

Designed for enterprises, this option provides a consistent, secure experience across managed desktops and servers that use the Windows GINA logon model, improving user productivity while maintaining strong governance over password and account recovery processes.
