6.4 Configuring Basic Settings

Self Service Password Reset allows you to configure basic settings to control functionality and behavior of the system.

  1. Log in to Self Service Password Reset at https://dns-name/sspr as an administrator.

  2. In the toolbar, click your name.

  3. In Configuration Editor, click Settings > Application > Application.

  4. Configure the following fields:

    Site URL

    Specify the URL to access Self Service Password Reset. The system uses this URL in emails and other user communications. For example, https://password.example.com/sspr.

    Include the context path in the URL. For example, /SSPR.

    If blank, the system attempts to auto-detect the URL, however some network configurations prevent Self Service Password Reset from accurately determining the URL.

    Forward URL

    After completing any activity, which does not need a logout, users are forwarded to this URL.

    You can override this URL for any user session by adding a forwardURL parameter to the HTTP request. If blank, the system forwards the user to the application menu.

    Logout URL

    Specify a URL that Self Service Password Reset redirects users to after logout. If the user accesses the site through a web authentication gateway, configure this URL to match the gateway's logout URL to prevent authentication errors, intruder lockouts, and other issues.

    You can set Logout URL to any relative or absolute URL. When the user's browser requests this URL, the Self Service Password Reset session already is invalidated.

    You can override this URL for any user session by adding a logoutURL parameter to any HTTP request during the session.

    Home URL

    Specify the URL to redirect users to upon clicking the home button. If blank, the home button returns the user to the application context URL.

    Instance Name

    Specify the name of this application instance. If blank, the system uses a persistent, randomly generated value. The recommended value is blank.

    Idle Timeout Seconds

    Specify the duration of an authenticated session in seconds after which the session times out.

    Hide Configuration Health Warnings

    Enable this option to hide health warnings about configuration issues from the health status monitors.

    LocalDB Location

    Specify the location of the local database directory. If the specified path is relative, the system considers the path relative to the servlet's WEB-INF directory.

    HTTP Proxy

    Specify the URL of the HTTP proxy server. If you do not provide a value, then the system does not use a proxy server.

    For an HTTP proxy server, use the http://serverame:3128 format.

    For an authenticated proxy server, use the http://username:password@servername:3128 format.

    App Property Overrides

    IMPORTANT:Use this setting only when a technical support expert asks you to change the properties of the application.

    Localization > Locales (Languages) and Flags

    Select the appropriate localizations for your users to use. The table displays the list of available locales. The code is in two parts separated by two colons. The first part is the browser locale code and the second part is the ISO country code. The flag value is the ISO code.

  5. Select Save changes.
