APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If Password Validation is enabled and a user attempts to access
  a secure page with an expired password they are redirected to
  the ChangePassword view. Some views are exempted from this
  redirect and are listed in a properties file contained in a
  WebSphere Commerce JAR file. Changes to this exemption list
  could be lost if the jar is updated by an APAR, fix pack or
  features pack, making it difficult to add additional views to
  the exemption list.

Problem summary

• USERS AFFECTED:
  WebSphere Commerce users who are using Password Invalidation and
  have a business requirement to exempt additional views from
  being redirected when using an expired password.
  
  PROBLEM ABSTRACT:
  Only the default views that are included in an out-of-the-box
  properties file can be exempted from redirecting when the user's
  password is invalid.
  
  BUSINESS IMPACT:
  Shoppers may not be automatically redirected to the
  ChangePassword view if they are using an expired password
  
  RECOMMENDATION:
  

Problem conclusion

• An additional properties file, "
  PasswordInvalidationExemptionExtension.properties" can be
  created and added to the WC classpath which will allow
  additional views to be exempted.
