The branding options are just easy that anyone can work with. And when you are little familiar with CSS then you can do more.

This is an optional feature which you can enable/disable from admin. You can link to this module from anywhere (Ex: in your RD web or Citrix login page). User lands to this page and validates his credential using his email id and username. There is an option to use UPN as email id. If both are correct according to AD then he will be sent an email with a link for resetting his password. The link will expire in set (ex: 60) minutes, also the link can be used only once. User can use the link to reset his password without need of the old password. He will then be sent an email confirming his password reset.
