12.3 Configuring Client Login Extension

Client Login Extension is an application that you install on each Windows workstation in your environment. Client Login Extension contains a Configuration Utility that allows you to modify the installation settings for Client Login Extension so each Windows workstation contains the information required to connect to Self Service Password Reset. The Configuration Utility modifies the Client Login Extension MSI file so the changes occur during the installation of Client Login Extension.

Client Login Extension allows you to deploy these files in an enterprise environment without having to manually run the installation on each workstation. For more information, see Installing the Client Login Extension MSI File in the Client Login Extension Administration Guide.
