Change Password Policy Text

This page describes how to change the password policy text post deployment.

To change this at deployment time see the configuration docs.

To change the password policy text post deployment, you need to adjust the custom theme config map and restart the Keycloak pod.

  1. Retrieve the template for the login update password page, and theme properties, from the custom theme config map:

    bash

    Copy 
    kubectl get configmap custom-theme-configmap -o json | jq -r '.data["login-update-password.ftl"]'  > login-update-password.ftl
    kubectl get configmap custom-theme-configmap -o json | jq -r '.data["theme.properties"]' > theme.properties
                        

  2. Make your changes to login-update-password.ftl. Place the password policy between

    text

    Copy 
    <#elseif section = "form">
                        

    and

    text

    Copy 
    <form id="kc-passwd-update-form" class="${properties.kcFormClass!}" action="${url.loginAction}" method="post">
                        

  3. Recreate the configmap with your changes:

    bash

    Copy 
    kubectl create configmap custom-theme-configmap \
    --save-config --dry-run=client \
    --from-file=./login-update-password.ftl --from-file=./theme.properties \
    -o yaml | kubectl apply -f -
                        

  4. Restart the Keycloak pod for the changes to take effect:

    bash

    Copy 
    kubectl delete pod -l app.kubernetes.io/name=keycloak
