Redirect Password-Change-Fail?

I'm customizing login pages for my dashboards and I've created a new login page with much success. It's quite the looker.

I've created a new password-change page and the login page points to it. So far so good. I change the bid-config.xml file for password-change-success and it's redirecting to my new login page just fine.

But, password-change-failure results in the original WORP_PassChange.jsp page being displayed. Is there a way to have my redesigned password change page to display instead of the original in the event the password change attempt fails?

How about the META tags in the HEAD of your initial page itself?

We ended up changing to submitting the password change and receiving an XML response and then handle it our selves.

I'm surprised there's a setting for password-change-success but not for password-change-fail. I suppose the proposition is that you have no reason to go anywhere else than the page that changes the password.

I'll look into the idea of moving up the chain one step Waz, which I am presuming how you figured out how to submit the form and receive xml in return instead of a page repaint. It may be as simple as submitting into a pop-under and then capturing the error message to present on the original calling page, but Ajaxing it would be simpler still if I can figure out how to get that back instead of the html.

The parameter to pass is IBIMR_returntype=XML.

If you find a way with the redirect, let us know.

Its amazing what you can find when you go exploring.......

I don't think the returntype is very well documented.

Hey Waz, bumped into a little snag here -- my users aren't in Managed Reporting yet, so I can't submit to MR without receiving the "Log in to MR" message. Did you move the location of where you had them change the password?

By the way this is MR password only, we proxy to the reporting server.

We have placed ours in the app, so we have already validated.

You may have to log the user in and then call the pw change using IBIMR_returntype=XML of course.
