Remvoing the verification Image on Login

[Robbie@FireFold]

Hey Guys,

I'm new to Able, but not new to forums - so I searched for this answer first. No luck - all credit card verification topics.

Is there a way to get rid of the image/text verify? This drives me crazy - and would make the staff go nuts also.

Anyone have an easy solution?

Thanks in advance.

You can get rid of it by customizing the code. I had started on it, but ran into errors, so I put aside until later.

Are you talking about the catchpa control (i.e. the random image of text and numbers that you have to validate)? If so, this control should only activate if your user is an admin. You might be able to remove the links to the control from the login page, but I'm not sure if that would cause other errors or not.

You'd probably want to keep the control on admin pages fyi, as you probably want the extra security there, but on your regular login pages, you could either create non admin users for test purposes, or you could try to remove the control.

Is there a way to control the timeout?

It is not a difficult change. I entered bug 6848 to have this fixed so that it can be turned on / off.

We have a patch available for RC3 that will allow you to turn the Captcha off. Please go to this bug report - http://bugs.ablecommerce.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6848

You will need to download the CaptchaOption patch from the Attachments section.

Unzip the contents and place into the store folder. It is always a good idea to backup your original files before overwriting them.
It will overwrite the following files:

ConLib/LoginDialog.ascx
Admin/UserControls/LoginDialog.ascx
Admin/Store/Security/PasswordPolicy.aspx

Then go to Configure -> Security -> Password Policy and turn captcha on and off for both merchants and customers.

NOTES:

1) If you install the patch, you will need to immediately visit the password policy page and disable the customer captcha. Otherwise it will begin to display for customers as well.

The full fix for this bug will not have this problem, but the patch is intended for distribution to RC3 installs. Customer captcha is defaulted to false in the updated CommerceBuilder.dll, but this cannot be safely distributed as part of the patch to RC3.

2) If you have customer captcha on, but merchant captcha off, and you visit the customer page to log in as an admin user, you will still have to enter the
captcha.

We also have a FAQ - How do I increase the time between logins?

Thanks Katie. I am not at the point yet, but when we do purchase the software this will be our first mod!

Is this captcha toggle part of the normal SR1a release? I don't see that option under:
Administration > Configure > Security > Password Policy
