JavaScript Error When User Changed LDAP Password

Symptom:

SiteMinder Policy Server can be configured to force users to change their LDAP password the next time they login. If this configuration was enabled and a resource was protected with Arcot authentication, a JavaScript error was displayed informing the user that the LDAP password could not be changed.

Solution:

This release of CA Adapter supports the required configuration changes in SiteMinder Policy Server. You can set PasswdSvcUserAtt to a valid LDAP attribute of string type in the adaptershim.ini file. The fix will work only in controllers that use LDAP authentication. This property has to be configured under the sections as required.

For example, if controller4.jsp is used, then PasswdSvcUserAtt property must be configured as follows under the section arcot/integrations/smadapter/OnePage:

[arcot/integrations/smadapter/OnePage]
PasswdSvcUserAtt=description

Note:The LDAP attribute must not be used by any other application and also read-write access must be allowed.
