Self Service Password Reset allows you to configure basic settings to control functionality and behavior of the applications.
These setting help you define the URL your users access, what happens to users after they log out, and other similar settings.
Log in to Self Service Password Reset at https://dns-name/sspr as an administrator.
In the toolbar, click your name.
Click Configuration Editor.
Click Settings > Application > Application.
Configure the following fields:
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.
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.
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.
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.
Specify the name of this application instance. If blank, the system uses a persistent, randomly generated value. The recommended value is blank.
Specify the duration of an authenticated session in seconds after which the session times out.
Enable this option to hide health warnings about configuration issues from the health status monitors.
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.
