[Deploying Sakai] Password reset

[Matthew Jones]

That text is in the tool's message properties.

"./reset-pass/src/bundle/org/sakaiproject/tool/resetpass/bundle/Messages.properties"

1) It looks like it's actually hardcoded and there might be 2 bugs here.
mainText= This password service is only available for guest users on {0}.

If you configure additional roles then it is available for more than guest
users. So it should probably just say "administrator specified" or "some"
instead of "guest"
.
2) Also it shouldn't be printing <ui.service>, the default looks like "Sakai
Based Service"

Try to set the property in "sakai.properties" for "ui.service" to fix that
one.

./reset-pass/src/java/org/sakaiproject/tool/resetpass/FormProducer.java
106
args[0]=serverConfigurationService.getString("ui.service", "
    Sakai Bassed Service");
107
UIVerbatim.make(tofill,"main",messageLocator.getMessage("mai
    nText", args));
