Include a url into the Login screen

Hi,
This is a long wished enhancement (and I couldn't find any related info in the archives).
Most of the support calls from the users require a password reset.
We want to allow them to click on a url somewhere on the login screen (say Click here to have your password reset request emailed ...).
Where can I add this link?
PS I am not a Java expert.

You should really look into Everest Software's Single Sign-On solution. Once implemented, no more password reset issues.

http://www.everestsoftint.com/index.asp?a=browse&p=ESI%20JDE%20SSO

Look for "html4login.jsp" in your deployed E1 app "share" directory. Make a backup of this file. Test on a server or HTML instance no one is using (such as a development client).

<EXAMPLE> Insert the following:

<br>
<a href="http://your.site.here">
Click Here to Have Your Password Emailed to You</a>

After the these two lines:

<%=JSPUtilities.getHiddenPassthroughFields(params)%>
</FORM>

...and before these lines (near the bottom of the file):

<SCRIPT language="JavaScript1.2">
var jdeLegalInfo = "<%=resource.getString("JH_LEGALINFOWEBJAVASCRIPT")%>";

No Java required. You would need to keep this change in mind whenever you update your Tools, deploy a new HTML server instance, redeploy an existing HTML server instance, etc.

Just make sure your CNC’s are aware of this Hack(I mean enhancement) ~ Kool Idea!!!

I suggest <a href="http://your.site.here" target="_blank">

Thank YOU Charles! My Outlook popped-up on "MailTo:..."
What if the user has ONLY a WebMail client available? Is there any special browser setup required?

Again, Thank You Very Much!

My assumption (because I have an active imagination) was that you would direct the user to a password reset site or, at least, a form that could generate a request to have their password reset.

An example of how to handle the "mailto" issue for a mail client such as GMail. "GMail has a client-side install (GMail Notifier) that lets you specify that you want GMail to handle all mailto links"

http://toolbar.google.com/gmail-helper

Each webmail client would be different, however, and it would be great if there were a universal "register your default webmail handler here" utility for all platforms.

There's no reasonable way to specify a default webmail handler for "mailto" references on the server side. So, best to avoid that method if at all possible.

You're 100% right, we'll go with the standard (SharePoint list generating the request) approach.
Thank you,

Or look at ESI JDE User Self Management - which is a direct fit for this requirement...

Is this the same product Jeff mentioned earlier?

Actually no: this is a separate product - you would either or both 1) use automatic single signon (that's what Jeff mentioned) and/or 2) allow your users to reset their own passwords for manual logins (this is what I was referring to in my post).

Tell us more about your fine product, sir.

It's all on the WEB, Charles ;-)

Worth mentioning is the fact that this second USM solution will work with any JDE release from XE onwards (and of course, it's back-end independent, so it will work for Un#x & AS/400 sites just the same).

And our SSO solution supports Fat Clients, so it will also work for XE/ERP8 customers, while the WEB SSO is only supported from about TR894 and up.

Sorry, I had to have a little fun with it. You know, since Billy Mays passed away a couple of years ago, I figure the time is now right for me to consider a career change. "But wait...there's MORE!"
