How Customized Help Works

CA IdentityMinder uses resource bundles to override default help files and to provide the ability to link to custom context-sensitive help.

Using the defined format, you can create a resource bundle and place it in the iam_im.ear. When a user clicks on a help link, CA IdentityMinder will search through any applicable resource bundles for matches to custom help. If there is no match to custom help, CA IdentityMinder will provide the default help to the user.

If an international user clicks on a help link and a language-specific resource bundle has been created, CA IdentityMinder will check the browser locale settings of the user and open the language-specific help link. If there is no match within the language-specific resource bundle, the user will be directed to the default English help.

Note: Content on the custom pages will not show up when you search the default help or view the help index.
