DisallowForceLogin Registry Key (47157)

This service pack includes a new DisallowForceLogin registry key that, when enabled, has the Policy Server display a wrong old password error message rather than redirecting users to a login page when they provide invalid credentials during the password change process.

The key is located here:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Netegrity\SiteMinder\CurrentVersion\PolicyServer

To enable this key, this registry value must be configured as REG_DWORD and contain a value of 0x1. If you set the key to a value other than 0x1 or if the value does not exist, this feature is disabled.

Note: This key is disabled by default.

There are three cases affected by the DisallowForceLogin value.

• Force password change or password expired.
• Self Password change.
• Optional password change.
