Situation
The information that is provided by default on the
ChangePassword Portlet lists the exact requirements for the
password as outlined in the Password Policy.
Is it possible to provide more information to the end users
regarding the password requirements and some examples?
Resolution
This can be accomplished in the User Application by adding a
Message Portlet to the "Change Password" shared page. Within
the body of the message portlet any information that the end user
should be made aware could be entered and will therefore appear on
the "Change Password" shared page. Below are the steps to
accomplish this:
1. Login to User Application as the Admin user
2. Select 'Administration' Tab
3. On the 'Shared Page Administration' Tab select the 'Change Password' Shared Page
4. Press the 'Select Content' Link
5. Select the Message Portlet and press the add button
6. With the Message Portlet highlighted in the right-hand column press the 'Content Preferences Link' (press OK)
7. Press the 'View/Edit Custom Preference' link
8. Press Go
9. When the default text appears delete it all.
10. Enter the text that should be displayed to the end user
11. Press Save
12. Select the 'Return to List View' link
13. Press the 'Save Preferences' button
14. Select the 'Save Contents' link
15. Press the 'Arrange Content' link
