Change these messages

To change these messages, first locate and open the following file in a text editor:

AAD - %CATALINA_HOME%\webapps\CAST-AAD\portal\resources\urls.json
AED - %CATALINA_HOME%\webapps\CAST-AED\engineering\resources\urls.json

Locate the following sections in the file:

  {
    "id": "login-invalid-user",
    "message":"You are not authorized to access any applications"
  },
  {
    "id": "login-invalid-data",
    "message":"Sorry, username or password invalid"
  }

Now edit the "message" you want to change and add in your own message. For example, to modify the authorization message:

  {
    "id": "login-invalid-user",
    "message": "You are not authorized to access any applications - please contact your administrator."
  },

Following any changes you make, save the urls.json file and then restart your application server so that the changes are taken into account.
