The following tables list the file names and describe their roles in the customization of IBM Verify Identity Governance.
Table 1. Property configuration files and descriptions
File Name File Description
SelfServiceUI.properties
  • Controls the layout of the user interface (banner, footer, navigation bar, toolbar), the number of pages that display, and the number of search results returned.
  • Configures the items available in the "Search By" box for user search in the self-service interface.
  • Enables direct access to the Expired Password change screen and bypass the self-service login page under certain conditions. The property key that allows these actions is ui.directExpiredChangePasswordEnabled.
SelfServiceScreenText.properties Provides the text on the self-service user interface.
SelfServiceScreenText_language
.properties		 Provides the language-specific text on the self-service user interface. By default this file is SelfServiceScreenText_en.properties, which contains the English language bundle.
SelfServiceHomePage.properties Defines the sections of the self-service user interface home page and the order in which they occur.
SelfServiceHelp.properties Defines the links to html help pages on the self-service user interface. The html files are in the WAS_PROFILE_HOME\installedApps\node_name\ITIM.ear\itim_self_service_help.war directory. You can redirect help by modifying the information in this file.
SelfServiceScreenTextKeys
.properties

Provides label keys on the self-service user interface. This file can be used to assist with customization of screen text by providing a template to develop labels and instructions.

The file contains labels that are set to the key name. For instance, password_title=password_title. For customization and development purposes. you can copy this file to SelfServiceScreenText_language.properties, where language is a language suffix that is not installed. You can then switch your browser locale from your current language to the unused language. Restart the web application to navigate through the pages and see the label keys instead of the value text. By switching your browser locale, you can then toggle between keys and values. When customization is complete, you can then copy and rename the file to the language suffix you want to use, for example SelfServiceScreenText_en.properties, to finalize changes.
