Disabling autocomplete for user/password login fields in DASH

Troubleshooting


Problem

An attacker who can access the victim's browser could steal the password information in DASH login page.

Cause

When the autocomplete is enabled in login form in DASH login page, the password is susceptible to security attacks. If the function is enabled, then username entered by the user is stored on their local computer and retrieved by the browser on future visits to the same application.


Resolving The Problem

 

Here are the steps to disable autocomplete for password:

1. Open file <JazzSM_HOME>/profile/config/cells/JazzSMNode01Cell/applications/isc.ear/deployments/isc/isclite.war/WEB-INF/customizationProperties.xml

2. Ensure the following line has the value set to false:

                                     <consoleproperties:console-propertyid="LOGIN.CACHEPASSWORD" value="false"/>

  Save the file if the property value was changed.

3. Restart JazzSM server1

 

If the issue persists, then it must be the auto complete is enabled in the browser. Disable the browser's auto-complete setting.  To check the logon.jsp no longer has the autocomplete set to true, right-click on the password field on the DASH login page and chose the browser "inspect" option and look for the entry:

 

<input dir="ltr" type="password" class="isc-login-textfield" name="j_password" autocomplete="off" id="j_password" aria-required="true">
