This process assumes that the security questions and answers have been pre-registered by the user inside of their Windows environment.
Users must use HTTPS (not HTTP) for an account self-service server address such as https://IPAddress, in the Broker Setup tab. For
more information, see Conguring the Remote Connections. After answering the security questions, your new password will be set or your
account will be unlocked.
