Messages on failed login

idpSteve

Hi all.

I'm battling to find a way to display some login 'tips' when a user puts in some incorrect login details. I'd like to have a few messages, that get displayed after each failed attempt. I've made a login page with just one field, all users have the same password which is submitted by this form. Once a user inputs their login name incorrectly they should be displayed a tip saying 'Please check your typing and retry. Login names are case sensitive.'. If they input it incorrectly a second time they should be shown another tip saying 'Have you tried your initials and last 4 digits of your cell number' as this is suggested during registration.

I'm not sure how to go about this.

I'd appreciate any advice.

Regards,

Steve

If this is not possible, does anyone have any ideas for a work around?

On failed login, can you display a VP? I'm thinking not because the login failed but it may be worth pursuing. You could, for example, run a process that either logs into a special account by passing parameters, or take them to a URL.

create a page named ErrorPage
when the login fail aware will display that page instead of the error message.

Thank you for the suggestions.

mrbdrm, do I need to do anything other than create that page? Do I need to change something in the login page I'm using to direct to this ErrorPage when login fails? I've created this page and tested briefly and it wasn't displayed. I tried to login with incorrect details from logonAdmin.html if that makes a difference.

Adding this worked - " &errorPage=loginerror.html". Thanks for all the help.
