How to Customize the Help

Custom help allows you to provide specific help pages for your users when accessing highly-customized or localized Identity Manager environments.

To customize the help

1. Create custom help pages and host them on a web site.
2. Create a resource bundle with key IDs mapped to the custom help pages. Name the resource bundle as follows:

   help_EnvironmentName_languageidentifier.properties
   

   Note: The language identifier is an optional, two-character abbreviation for a specific language.

3. Place the .properties file in the iam_im.ear/config/com/netegrity/config directory.

   Note: If you are localizing the help to more than one language, create a resource bundle for each language.

4. Restart the Identity Manager server.

   Your custom help will now override the default help when your users click on the help links in the Identity Manager User Console.

For internationalized help, users with their browser locale preferences set to another language will be directed to the appropriate custom help.
