Altering the reset link text
It is possible to quickly alter the text that users are prompted for on their login screens for unlocking their accounts or resetting their passwords. To do this you'll need to edit the values in the registry. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Nervepoint Technologies/Access Manager and alter either AccountUnlockText or PasswordResetText.
Silent install options
The Windows login client can also be installed from the command line allowing you to push this out via a group policy update, to install the client specify the LogonBox hostname (note this must be done with admin privileges):
For the Executable
creds-provider-windows-x64-2.0.3.exe -q -VserverURL=<hostname>
Replacing <hostname> with your own hostname or IP i.e. test.logonbox.com. (Note that this is a host only and not a URL as the parameter seems to imply.
Additional command line options can be found by running the exe with the -h switch like so, creds-provider-windows-x64-2.0.3.exe -h.
For the MSI
creds-provider-windows-x64-2_3_0.msi /quiet PARAMETER="-VserverURL=<hostname>"
Replacing <hostname> with your own hostname or IP i.e. test.logonbox.com. (Note that this is a host only and not a URL as the parameter seems to imply.
Additional command line options can be found by running the msi with the /? switch like so, creds-provider-windows-x64-2.0.3.msi /?.
Creating a transforms file for the MSI
For deploying silent installs via a GPO, you need a transforms file (MST) to pass the server URL parameter.
Here is an example using the tool called Orca.
Run Orca and go to File->Open and open the Credentials Provider MSI file.
Select the Transform->New Transform menu.
Select the Property table.
Right click in the main window and select Add Row.
For the Property, add PARAMETER.
For the Value, add -VserverURL=admin.logonbox.com
(replacing admin.logonbox.com with your own server's hostname)
Now you can click Transform->Generate Transform and save out your MST file which can be used in a GPO.
Alternatively, you could select File->Save Transformed As and write out a new version of the MSI with this transform applied.
