Issue/Introduction

The failure screen is displayed when the user makes a mistake in inputting the OTP up to the maximum number of times, and after a while the user PC is redirected to the login screen.
How do we change the interval before this login screen appears?

How to make the display screen of the failure message stay longer?

Environment

Release : 9.1

Component : RiskMinder(Arcot RiskFort)

Resolution

Open the ARCOT_HOME/conf/afm/arcotafm.properties file and look for this section in the file-

# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
#  FailureMessageDisplayTimeLimit sets the time limit for displaying the 
# failure message to the user (in case of any credential expiry, locked, or disabled credential) 
#  before redirecting them back to the caller.
#
#  Defaults to 6000 milliseconds.
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------

#FailureMessageDisplayTimeLimit=6000

Uncomment the parameter FailureMessageDisplayTimeLimit and set a desired value. This change will need the application server restart.
