Change Error Message in Logon Help App. (Reset password)

[Former Member]

Hi all,

When you use the reset password function of the Portal, you have to change the newly generated password.

We have made settings that the new password should be different from the previous 5.

However, if we enter a new password that has been entered before. The error message states that the new password should differ from the previous 0 (!). How can we change this?

Please see the screenshot:

How can I change the error message displayed here (in Dutch)?

Best regards,

Jan Laros

Jan,

Look at my post on the bottom of this thread:

The text that is shown is located in a "locale" file, hope this can help you a bit...

I must agree that the message is rather strange (the zero part).. Is your Portal UME connected to an ABAP backend?

Cheers,

Hi,

this sounds strange. If you cannot solve it by modifying / taking a look at the "locale" files, open a CSN ticket.

Regards,

Holger.

Hi Benjamin!

Long time no see! Nice to hear from you. The Portal UME is handing out the new random password, but when the user changes it, this will be done in the ABAP backend userstore.

Strange. I can't find the error message in the file logonMessages_nl.properties:

Hmmm, actually not that strange perhaps as it is a security setting.

[benjamin_houttuin · Accepted solution]

Hi Jan,

Could it be that the message is comming from the ABAP system then? I have never seen the message in your screenshot so its kind of strange...

OSS note?

Good luck,

Benjamin

Hi Benjamin,

I have checked the ABAP profile and there was no parameter set for the history of password. We added one, but that did not help.

I have once again checked the UME settings in VA and found the following parameter which definitely must solve my problem:

<b>ume.logon.security_policy.password_history</b>

This was set to 0 and I changed it to 5. J2EE Engine is restarting as we speak. I don't have a clue on how I could have missed this. Keep you updated.

Jan

Edit: The change of the setting ume.logon.security_policy.password_history to "5" has solved the problem. Thanks for your help!
