FPS Change Password Process

Once the user is verified, you site may allow the user to set their password or may want to generate random passwords. If you wish to allow users to select their own passwords, specify this information in a section starting with:

[FPS-Change]

Everything appearing after this line and before the start of another section is considered part of the change password section.

Prior to APS Version 4.0, this section was called [Change]. In Version 4, this was renamed to [FPS-Change]. The old name is still recognized and will be processed correctly, but a warning will be issued about the use of the deprecated name.

This section specifies the form(s) required to gather a password change from the user, how the forms are to be used and how to handle various common error conditions.

URL

Value: URL

Default: none

Recommended: yes

Code Description: URL

Complexity Level: Basic

If the user will be allowed to select a password, this setting must be specified. This setting tells FPS where to send the user for the input form. It is a form.

URL=/FPS/ChangePassword.jsp
Timeout URL

Value: URL

Default: none

Recommended: yes

Code Description: Timeout URL

Complexity Level: Intermediate

This setting specifies a page to send the user to if the user fails to submit the form within the time period specified by the Timeout setting ("You did not answer quickly enough").

This is a terminal condition (FPS processing terminates - the user cannot use FPS at this time).

Timeout URL=/FPS/Timeout.jsp
Timeout

Value: Number

Default: none

Recommended: 300

Complexity Level: Intermediate

This setting controls how much time (in seconds) is allowed to elapse before the user submits the form. If the user waits too long, the user will be redirected to the Timeout URL when the page is finally posted.

Timeout=300
