Configure ExactAccess (XA) to use AD-PWR

If your organization is using HealthCast's ExactAccess (XA) product, and you wish to allow XA users to reset their passwords using AD-PWR, you must configure the XA Client software to enable password reset functionality. To do this, on systems that have the XA client software, make these changes to the registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HealthCast\PasswordReset]

URL=String Value

AutoCancelTime=DWORD Value

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HealthCast\ExactAccess\QAW\Settings]

QAW.PasswordResetEnabled=DWORD Value

Settings:

  • URL: Enter the URL to the AD-PWR password reset site. For example, "https://adpwr-server-name/adpwr/reset"

  • AutoCancelTime: The AutoCancelTime determines the length of time in seconds that the user can be inactive (i.e. not pressing any keys or moving the mouse) before XA will automatically cancel the password reset session. The default value is 120 seconds. Enter a DWORD value to specify a different cancel time.

  • QAW.PasswordResetEnabled: Enter a DWORD value of 1 to enable password reset functionality on Single User Mode (SUM) systems. The default value is 0 (disabled).
