In a 5.5 environment, when a user submits a password change request that contains an invalid current password, the Password Change Information screen appears with a message stating that the old password is incorrect. The user can provide the correct credential and change the password. In r12.0 SP2, the Policy Server redirects the user to the login screen without the message.
Enabling the DisallowForceLogin registry key allows the 5.5 behavior in an r12.0 SP2 environment. The registry key is located at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Netegrity\SiteMinder\CurrentVersion\PolicyServer
The KeyType must be configured as REG_DWORD and the Value must be 0 (disabled) or 1 (enabled). The registry key is disabled by default.
If a value other than 0x1 is configured, the feature is disabled. If the registry key is disabled, the r12.0 SP2 behavior is in effect.
