From v=
ersion 6.8 onwards customisation of the authentication method names for bot=
h the administrators console and the Single Sign-On Console can be performe=
d using the resource editor. The resource editor is a tool within the=
management console that allows you to customise prompts and messages that =
are used by the Authentication Server and can be found by logging in t=
o the management console, then navigating to "Customisation | Resou=
rce Editor";
Example: Customising the =
"One-Time Password" & "On-Demand Password" authentication methods
As an example to replace the default =
names for the authentication methods "One-Time Password" a=
nd "On-Demand Password" you would need to make the cu=
stomisations to the resourced ID's "method.otp" and "method.odp";
=
Given there are a large number of res=
ources that need to be searched you are advised to use the filter "=
Free Text:" to limit the listed items using the values "On=
e-Time Password" and "On-Demand Password" (e=
ither using the default value of the authentication method, or by supplying=
the resource ID).
As an example, to find the prompt dis=
played for the authentication method "One-Time Password", =
at the filter "Free Text:" we either supply "One-T=
ime Password", or "method.otp", then click the "SEARCH" button to=
find the required resource to be customised.
When the required resource has been l=
ocated we left click on the context menu and select "Edit"=
(as per the examples above), and a window will popup titled "Edit";
At the prompt "Customised Val=
ue" you can now supply the customised text that will replace the d=
efault name for the selected authentication method then click "SAVE=
".
After the authentication method name =
customisations have been saved we will find that the contents of the column=
"Customised Value" has been updated to reflect the change=
s (example below);
Each resource allows you to customise=
for one of the available languages - normally you will customise for the d=
efault language (as per the example above), however any of the available la=
nguages may be customised.
These example customisations will now=
cause the management console to replace the default text that is displayed=
when the authentication methods are listed in the management console.
After applying the above changes for =
the properties of the parameters "On-Demand Password" and =
"One-Time Password", we will find that the management cons=
ole will now replace these default names (example below);
=
If the customised authentication meth=
ods are now used in a logon step for a portal (for example using an OTP aut=
hentication method for the "Reset Password Service"), then=
you find that the prompt presented in the portal for the authentication me=
thod is also customised accordingly;
=
.
Other Examples:
The process used in the previous exam=
ple can be applied to customise other authentication methods. <=

As with the previous examples you are=
advised to use the "Free Text" filter with the the requir=

After customising the above authentic=
ation method names you will find the name changes reflected in the names pr=
esented in the management console;
To customise authentication methods w=
here you do not know in advance the Resource ID of the authentication metho=
d you should first search using the "free text" filter, bu=
t provide the current prompt displayed for the authentication method. =
After clicking "SEARCH" you should now examine resources =
for the method that you want to customise.

Once the customisation has been remov=
