508 Compliance: focus lost on alerts/pop-ups

Products

• CA Identity Suite

Issue/Introduction

The Focus trap on pop-up windows is not occurring, which allows the user to navigate in the backend when the user should be doing reading and actions in the pop-up window.

Cause

IDM does not trap the focus on dialog window alerts. Some windows, such as when you click "About Identity Manager" will trap focus because that is essentially a new browser window.
The reason navigating away from the alert is allowed, is part of the in-built Sencha library support with Identity Manager.  This library governs the alert functionality and it is not designed to "block" which is what standard or native alert will do.

Resolution

Request fix DE617518. 

Applying the fix:

1. Backup the user_console.war folder 
2. Unzip the fix file, and overlay to user_console.war folder. This will copy the new JSPs to the correct location automatically.
3. Delete tmp folder, and clear browser cache. 
4. Now add property  "SwitchToNativeJS" without the quotes to Miscellaneous section of Advanced Settings in Management console. Property is case-sensitive. Set the value to "true" or "1" or "on" to enable it.

Additional Information

The fix applies only to ui7 and ui7-508 skins.

The fix can be applied on all 14.5 versions from 14.5 GA through 14.5.1 CHF01. The fix is planned for inclusion in the next CHF (cumulative hotfix).
