The names used to represent the authentication methods can be customised (both the names presented during authentication, and the names displayed in the management console).
To customise these names you will need to make modifications to files stored in subfolders of the DualShield installation directory.
From version 5.9.From version 6.5.5 onwards customisation of the authentication method names for both the administrators console and the Single Sign-On Console are performed by property changes in the following fileediting the properties of a single file.
Authentication Method customisations are made by editing a file found in a subfolder of the DualShield installation directory as follows;
| Portals Customised | Subfolder | File |
|---|---|---|
DualShield Access Administrators Console (DAC) Single Sign-On (SSO) | \tomcat\dualapp\das5\WEB-INF\grails-app\i18n | “messages.properties” |
