About this task

The default Change Password page is a simple page with no logo information that prompts the user to provide his user ID, existing password, and new password. The default page provides a link to the Password Policy page.

You can customize the Change Password page to define how you want the page to look and what information to include on the page. You customize this page by modifying the labels or replacing the entire page.

Before you modify the Change Password page, gather the following information:

  • Provide a value for each Secure Proxy feature listed. Fields listed in the worksheet are required.
  • Accept default values for fields not listed.
  • Note the Configuration Manager field where you will specify the value.

To customize the Secure Proxy Change Password page:

Procedure

  1. From IBM Sterling Secure Proxy, select Advanced from the left hand-side navigation panel.
  2. Select SSO Configurations to display SSO Configurations page.
  3. To create a new SSO configuration:
    1. Click Add new + to display SSO Configuration page.
    2. Type an SSO configuration name in the Name field.
  4. To edit an existing SSO configuration:
    1. From the navigation menu, click SSO Configurations.
    2. Select the configuration to modify and click Edit icon.
  5. On the Logon Portal tab, select SSP Internal Portal.
  6. Change one or more of the following fields to customize the Change Password page:
    • Change Password Page
    • Login Directory Name
    • Login Page Charset
    • Login Page Media Type
  7. Click Save.
  8. If you want to change the text or graphics on the Change Password page, open the \install_dir\signon directory and modify the change password .html file as required.
    Note: If you modify the change password .html file, do not modify the following lines:
    var ssoMsgText="#{ssoMsgText}"; 
var ssoMsgTitle="#{ssoMsgTitle}"; 
var ssoMsgType="#{ssoMsgType}"; 
var ssoMsgOnly="#{ssoMsgOnly}";
  9. If you modify the change password .html file, create a copy of the \install_dir\Signon directory.

    Making a copy of the directory prevents the custom attributes from being overwritten if you upgrade the software or apply a patch.
