How do I change the URL for the 'Register for password reset' link in the portal?
If you look at the default link in the FIM portal, it just says 'javascript:PwdRegister()', so changing it through the administrative settings in the portal does seem to do the trick - although I have seen some clever javascript typed into the "Home Page Resources" under the "Administration" menu and selected "Register for password reset" where the default setting was changed to javascript:void(window.open('http://servername:port/default.aspx'));
Though this might work, I'm not sure if this is actually supported; so I dug a little deeper to figure out exactly where the default 'javascript:PwdRegister()' gets it's URL from.
It seems that it actually reads from the registry under the hive HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Forefront Identity Manager\2010\Portal and there it reads the value of the key 'RegistrationPortalUrl'. The proper way to change this would certainly be to go through the Setup program for FIM, but if you need to change this without going through the setup again, you could change this value in the registry. And you won't have to fiddle around with javascripting.
Please note that you need to do an IIS Reset after changing the value.
