looking for way to remove the password fields

[kwise]

We use single sign-on. I'm having problems with users changing thier
passwords and causing themselves to get locked out constantly in
VersionOne. I was hoping for a way to remove the password fields.
Can this be done?

I've looked at the en.Base.txt file and there are some information
about the passwords. In this file I see the following lines:
AttributeDefinition'Password'Member=Password
Menu'Password=Password
ChangePassword'Label=New Password:
ChangePassword'Success=Password successfully changed.

If I comment out those lines and restart the web server, then login
again. I an still see the password fields. Am I missing something
else or can this even be done.

Thanks,
KC

On-premise customers that have an SSO (single sign-on) infrastructure can configure VersionOne via a setting in a user.config file in the web app root directory. When this configuration is enabled, the password fields (and logout option) are no longer present in the application.

More details can be found here:

Thanks,

KC,

We were having issues with SSO implementation recommended below after we
upgraded to the Winter 12 release.
As such we reverted to a custom forms authentication "wrapper" for SSO
and needed to hide the password fields from the user which is what I
suspect you are trying to do.

I would highly recommend, if at all possible, to use the recommended
approach.
Please note that the knowledge base article does not mention that forms
authentication must be enabled on the VersionOne application in the
Winter 12 release, whereas in previous versions it did not.

Having said that, removing the password fields is fairly simple:
1. Back up any and all files you touch.
2. Edit the Default.aspx file in the VersionOne directory. Between the
tags V1Controls and body add a script block:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){

$('[id*="PasswordMember"]').css('display','none');
});
</script>
3. In the MetaRender sub folder of the VersionOne directory edit the
_omni_box.spark file:
In the div marked with the class="member-menu" remove the anchor tag
for the password menu option.

Recycle your app pool(s) and restart the website, or do an IIS reset.

You should no longer see password fields anywhere in the application.

Good Luck!

All -
Our SSO support has not changed for the Winter release, and we have many customers configured exactly as they were for prior releases that are not seeing any issues (or any need to modify the web app's security configuration).

Our support team is actively working with SAIC/Harry to resolve the SSO issues they're experiencing; I/they will send an update to this group once we get to the root cause. But in the meantime we do not recommend (and cannot support) modifying the web application configuration or any aspx/js/css/other files - those changes will not be preserved during an update/upgrade (but the user.config file will).

Ian Culling
