ume.logon.
force_password_change_
on_sso

Default value is TRUE.

When TRUE, the system always forces users to change their passwords (when the passwords expire or are reset).

When FALSE, the system only forces password changes during password authentication. When using other authentication methods the system never forces a password change.

ume.logon.logon_help

Default value is FALSE.

When TRUE, the Get support link appears in the UME logon Welcome screen, enabling users to solicit help from the system administrator or reset their own password.

Caution

When users reset their password, the system e-mails their password in plain text.

ume.logon.logon_help.
name_required

Default value is FALSE.

Determines if the fields First Name and Last Name are required to identity the user for logon help.

Set this value to TRUE to require users to provide First Name and Last Name in addition to Logon ID and E-Mail address when requesting a new password. If the user does not enter all the required information correctly, the system shows an error message. If this value is false, the user only needs to provide a Logon ID and E-Mail address.

ume.logon.logon_help.
securityquestion

Default value is FALSE.

Enables the security question during logon help and self-registration

Set this value to TRUE to enable users to provide a security question and answer during self-registration. When the user requests logon help, the system asks the user the security question the user entered during self-registration. If the user provides the same answer (case insensitive), the system generates and e-mails a new password. Otherwise the system shows an error message.

Set this value to PREDEFINED to enable users to choose from one of 5 predefined security questions during self-registration, instead of entering their own.

If self-management is enabled, users can change their question or answer. The user must maintain the Security Answer to request a new password.

ume.logon.selfreg

Default value is FALSE.

When TRUE, the Register now link appears in the UME logon Welcome screen, enabling users to register themselves.
