Hello kind IDM folks,
I am looking for a way to get different text to appear on the admin and user login pages. It makes sense that the text would be different, but I'm not seeing an obvious way to de-couple the two pages...
Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
Thanks!
Jim
Jim,
It depends on the version of IdM you're using, but there is a way to customize messages. For version 6.0, read Chapter 6 of the Release Notes. For version 5.5, look at Appendix E of the Technical Deployment Guide..
For version 6.0, I created a custom message catalog file named CustomMessages.properties, and added and overrode some message variables, including the welcome messages for the end-user and administrator login pages:
UI_LOGIN_WELCOME2=Welcome to [PRODUCT_NAME], CBC抯 identity management system. Enter your user ID and password, and then click <b>Login</b>. If you can抰 remember your password, click <b>Forgot Your Password?</b>
UI_ADMIN_LOGIN_WELCOME2=Welcome to the administrator interface of [PRODUCT_NAME], CBC抯 identity management system. Enter your user ID and password, and then click <b>Login</b>. If you can抰 remember your password, click <b>Forgot Your Password?</b>
PRODUCT_NAME=Identity Manager
I hope this helps.
Bev.
Bev,
Thanks for your response. I appreciate it. I need to get in the habit of stating which version I am using when posting.
I am using 7.0. It seems like both the admin and end user login pages are grabbing the string from UI_LOGIN_WELCOME4. I have customized this string for the end user page, but it also shows up on the admin page, and I would like to use a different message there. I'm not sure what I can do about it however since they seem to be grabbing the same message for both...
Not much response on this Jim, you might want to open a support call.
I have a similar issue where I'm getting the same error called:
AN_EX_MAX_AUTH_ATTEMPTS_EXC=Maximum number of authentication attempts exceeded. Your account has been locked.
It is called when a user puts the incorrect password too many times and this is correct. But it is also called when a user fails their authentication questions too many times. This is not correct because the account is NOT locked (only access to the auth questions is locked)
It's got to be specified in the underlying java somewhere that we don't have access to.
Hi Jim,
There is way to get different text to appear on the admin and user login pages.
open user/login.jsp and add form.setSubTitle("SHANTTEST"); in it to change subtitle of user login display page and in the same way u can change the title also by setTitle("SHANT_TEST_TITLE");
i think it will help u.
Thanx
Shant
