GINA Wrapper DLL


Support locked out users without a "generic" domain account:

  • Extend the Windows Graphical Identification and Authentication (GINA) subsystem, which:
    • is responsible for capturing Ctrl-Alt-Del,
    • presents the login screen and
    • handles screen savers.
  • The Windows GINA can be replaced by third-party DLLs, such as:
    • Novell NetWare.
    • Strong authentication products (smart cards, biometrics, etc.).
  • P-Synch includes a GINA wrapper DLL that adds a password reset button in the login prompt.
  • P-Synch also includes a GINA service program that adds this without modifying the GINA DLL.
  • P-Synch GINA extensions:
    • Launch a kiosk-mode web browser.
    • Runs the browser with an unprivileged account.
