Forms Support for Activating New User Accounts

The following forms are used by SiteMinder when an administer creates a new user account, and that user logs in. Through the forms, a user creates a PIN, or has SiteMinder generate a random PIN.

PWSystemPIN.template

For new users, or users whose accounts have been suspended (due to too many invalid login attempts), this template prompts the user to acquire a new PIN. This template accepts the user’s original username and passcode, but instead of granting access to a protected resource, it redirects the user to another form where the user can receive or create a new PIN.

PWNewPINSelect.template

This template allows a user to indicate if the system should generate a new PIN, or if the user wants to enter a new PIN.

PWUserPIN.template

This template allows a user to enter a new PIN. It requires that the user provide a valid username and passcode along with the new PIN. In this template, $USRMSG$ is replaced with instructions for creating a new PIN number. For example:

PINs must be between 4 and 8 characters in length.

PWPINAccept.template

This template indicates that a new system-generated PIN has been created. In this template, $USRMSG$ is replaced by the system generated PIN.

When a user clicks Continue, the user is immediately prompted to log in using the new PIN.
