Identity Console login does not retain or allow for default value for server

Status: Accepted

Unlike iManager, IC 1.7 does not allow you to configure a default value for the eDir tree in the login screen:

It is a tiny bit annoying having to enter that detail on every login :)

  • Accepted.Will update feature availability and release plan later on.

  • I've requested this from the ID Console team a thousand times already, I also find it very annoying. It's supposed to be part of the planned features that should include customization in the UI.

    What I use to mitigate this is a Firefox extension called "Autofill forms". It lets you create custom fields with specific values. That way you can select between different trees. 

  • For now, one can only edit the html page to supply a default value:
