Issue/Introduction

In an Existing IM environment, web services requests to change passwords return the following in the TEWS Description Field: 

<tews:description>[ERROR 3030] Password is too short. Minimum length is 8. ProcessStep::BLTHValidate TabName: ERRORLEVEL::Error</tews:description>

However, after building an identical Parallel environment with the same software versions, the TEWS response is missing the ERROR 3030 code. Instead this is returned:

<tews:description>Password is too short. Minimum length is 8. ProcessStep::BLTHValidate TabName: ERRORLEVEL::Error</tews:description>

Environment

Identity Manager 12.6.xAny Platform

Cause

The reason for the differences between the descriptions is the customization of the error messages. 

The ims exceptions can all be customized in the file: 

\iam_im.ear\custom\resourceBundles\IMSExceptions.properties 

 

 

 

Resolution

If you customize the IMSEXCEPTIONS.properties file or any other resource file contained within IM's resource bundles, these customizations should also be copied over to the new environments.
