HOWTO: Disabling autocomplete for the Admin UI and Web UI login screens

Question:

How to disable autocomplete option for admin and Web UI login screens?


Resolution

For the end User UI

Edit the file $FILEDRIVEHOME/share/ftdocs/html/skin/ric/C/login.html and change the form element to look like the below:


<form name="loginForm" method="post" action="/template/login" autocomplete="off" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">


After a refresh, this should take effect.


For the Admin UI

Edit the file $FILEDRIVEHOME/tomcat/admin/webapps/coreadmin/auth/login.jspx and change the form element to look like the below:


<form id="loginform" name="loginform" method="post" action="j_security_check" autocomplete="off" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" class="login-form">


Restart the admin service and check the page again.


Additional notes


If you have more than one server, this needs to be done on all of the servers separate.

Some browsers, like Firefox, ignore the option.
