Symptoms

Logon page is not displayed correctly when 'force password change' is on for local users.

Impact

Although it is correct behavior to require an initial password change and to require a logon after changing the password, the expected first page is a one-time password-change request, instead of the same change-password change page displayed twice.

Conditions

When more than one logon page is configured in the Access policy, and the administrator sets 'Force Password Change' in the local user account database.

Workaround

The current workaround is to add 'Variable Assign' agent in the LocalDB Auth Successful branch with a custom variable, for example: session.logon.page.challenge = expr { 0 }.

Fix Information

The system now shows the correct logon page after the successful password change.
