We would like to hide or disable  the ‘remember password’ checkbox in the IFS app9 login.  Does anyone have an answer as to how to accomplish that?

Hi @Domyers58 ,

The login dialog contains options that can be enabled/disabled by configuration in the runtime directory.

Disabling this option is done by updating a flag in the configuration file for Enterprise Explorer. To do this, open the file Ifs.Fnd.Explorer.exe.config which is located in the client runtime folder.

Adde below section in Ifs.Fnd.Explorer.exe.config:

<appSettings>
        <add key="disableRememberPassword" value="false" />
    </appSettings>

 

Change the value to "true" to always disable the Remember Password functionality.


Since the config file has been manually changed,if you use the ClickOnce deployment model - need to resign the deployment using F1mage.exe which also in the same folder

Hi @Domyers58,

Solution given by @Manoj Ruwanhewa above is correct for IFSAPP8, but I noticed your installation is IFSAPP9. it is a little different in IFSAPP9. 

In IFSAPP9, you should find the “disableRememberPassword” parameter in  Ifs.Fnd.Explorer.appsettings_sample file located in \\<IFS_HOME>\instance\<InstanceID>\client\runtime directory.

You should make a copy of this file and remove the “_sample” extension and do the changes on that file. Client updates may change the default setting values and update the sample file but settings specified in the Ifs.Fnd.Explorer.appsettings file will not be changed during updates. So you do not have to keep updating this file after every delivery installation.

Please refer to the attached documents on how to do this for IFSAPP9, which explains everything you need to do clearly.

Hope this helps!


After the change was applied, testing also showed that  ‘remember password’ check was removed for those users who had the ‘remember password’ checked.  Thank you!
