Create a changepassword link in logon page

Hi

I have to develop a Change Password link in portal login page.

Approach 1:

-


The approach in my mind is :

1. Create a Change password application as PAR file.

2. Create iview on this Par file in portal.

3. Now create a link in umLogonPage.jsp in com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par file in NWDS.

4. point to iview created on step2 in link created in step 3.

Approach 2:

-


But when I explored com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par PAR file. I came to know that it contains a changePasswordPage.jsp in it as well.

So, now I am wondering that why I cannot use this page only in umLogonPage.jsp

If above approach is possible then what setting do I need to make in com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par file.

Please comment on both of my approaches.

Thanks

Have a look at the UME configuration - you can activate self support to enable the user to reset their own password. This is all standard stuff that requires configuration and not development.

If you go into the UME config and then click on the help link it will take you to SAP help with more info on how to set it all up.

Yes, I have already implemented this standard solution.

Can you please comment on approach 1.

Is it possible, even if it is not a feasible solution.

I don't see why not - you can basically rebuild the logon application if you want.

I don't understand why you'd want to do that in this case though as the standard config allows for changing passwords - you can obviously customise the standard pages if you want but the functionality is already there.

Thanks Greath.

Actually I have modified masthead.par in which I inserted a link over there.

So, I was wondering, whether I can do the same with logon.par or not.

Because I cannot try it until there is a requirement from customer.

So, was just confirming.

Yes you can modify the logon application - it's quite common to do this and I've worked with it a number of times in the past. There is a help section dedicated to describing what you can do and how if you search help.sap.com.

Hi,

When "ume.logon.force_password_change_on_sso=TRUE" in UME property is set as

TRUE, the system always forces users to change their passwords (when the passwords expire or are reset). This property by default is set as true.

Moreover once the user logs in, there is change password option available under personalize link in masthead. I think this is the ideal way to change the passwords and have seen in most of the systems 'Change Password' working this way.

But my requirement is different.
