Question & Answer


Question

How does one display a custom exception message when LDAP system throws an exception?

Answer

 
Following are the steps required to show custom error message, which is meaningful to the user, along with the login-failed message on the login console. These steps assume an LDAP configuration is in place.
       
  1.    
    Configure custom error code (EXTN_LDAP_ERRCODE) along with the custom message in Application Platform => Presentation => Custom Error Code
       
    2.    
  2.    
    Set yfs.yfs.console.login.error.showDetail=Y in the  customer_overrides.properties file (Follow other steps given in Properties Guide to incorporate the changes made in the customer_overrides.properties)
       
    3.    
  3.    
    From LDAP implementation class in case of exception throw YFCException with error code defined in step 1.
       
Example Code Snippet:
 
   YFCException y = new YFCException("EXTN_LDAP_ERRCODE");
   throw y;
 
The login screen will now display the customer error message whenever the LDAP system throws an exception.
