Setting the password hint text in the New Edge UI

When a user sets or resets their password in the New Edge UI, a password page appears that contains fields to set the password and text describing the password policy requirements:

You can configure the password hint text and password policy validation settings in the New Edge UI by setting the following properties in the /opt/apigee/customer/application/management-ui.properties file:

• conf_uebe_passwordPolicy_pwdHint: Sets the password hint text displayed to users.
• conf_uebe_passwordPolicy_pwdMinLength: Sets the minimum required password length (default is 8).
• conf_uebe_passwordPolicy_pwdValidationRegex: Sets the regular expression used to validate passwords in the New Edge UI.

To set these properties:

1. Open the management-ui.properties file in an editor. If the file does not exist, create it:

   vi /opt/apigee/customer/application/management-ui.properties

2. Set conf_uebe_passwordPolicy_pwdHint and optionally conf_uebe_passwordPolicy_pwdMinLength and conf_uebe_passwordPolicy_pwdValidationRegex. For example:

   conf_uebe_passwordPolicy_pwdHint="Password must be at least 13 characters long and contain at least one special character."
   conf_uebe_passwordPolicy_pwdMinLength=13
   conf_uebe_passwordPolicy_pwdValidationRegex="^(?=.*[a-z])(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*\d)(?=.*[^\da-zA-Z]).{13,}$"

3. Save your changes.
4. Make sure the properties file is owned by the apigee user:

   chown apigee:apigee /opt/apigee/customer/application/management-ui.properties

5. Restart the New Edge UI:

   /opt/apigee/apigee-service/bin/apigee-service edge-management-ui restart
