Problem Note 11552: Special characters cannot be used in HCM login passwords
By default, the following special characters are not allowed to be part
of your HCM login password:
# % @ ! $ ^ & * ( ) _ + = - ` `| \ ] [ } { : ; ? / . > , < "
A site may override this default to allow for the use of these
characters in a login password.
These characters can be overridden by using the properties key
Invalid_Characters.notrans in the HRVresourceBundle.properties. The
default value for this key is the character string above. If the
Invalid_Characters.notrans key is present in the
HRVresourceBundle.properties file, the contents of the string dictates
which characters are excluded for use in the login password.
Thus, if you add to or remove from the character string within the
Invalid_Characters.notrans key, you are altering which characters are
valid for the login password. If the Invalid_Characters.notrans key is
removed entirely from the HRVresourceBundle.properties file, the default
character string noted above is then in place.
In your install, open the hrv.jar file in the WEB-INF directory and
extract the HRVResourceBundle.properties file into the
WEB-INF\class\com\sas\hrv\res directory. Edit the
Invalid_Characters.notrans key within the HRVResourceBundle.properties
file as necessary.
Save your file and restart your web server to accept your newly edited
file.
