Description John Jullion-ceccarelli 2005-11-21 21:26:59 UTC 
* The title should be "Enter Master Password"
* The display text for the text field should be "Master Password"
* I don't know what a CLI command is. (I can guess ;-)) Can we assume users
(even semi-newbies) will understand this?
* The description of how to set the domain to save the master password isn't
very clear. Don't know if we can successfully describe that here. If we do
describe it but the user can't or doesn't want to save the master password,
they'll have to see that big description every time the restart the app server.

Don't know if we're past message freeze, but if not, we should probably change
it to something like:

Your domain is not set to save the master password. Please enter the master
password for this application server instance.

If you want to keep the description, let me know and I'll try to come up with
something clearer.

Vince, it might be better if you own this one, based on your good experience on
mastering ui in Nb :-)
I don't think we are past message freeze.

title : easy, will fix.
label for entry field : will fix.

proposed description change

Your domain's master password is unsaved.  Please enter the master password to
start this domain.

I don't like it, but I cannot figure out a message that says:

You used the asadmin command to create a domain, but forgot to use the
--savemasterpassword option.  Your life is about to regress from its vital
healthy state into a wretched one, in which you will be forced to enter the
master password whenever you try to start this domain.  You may want to find a
sharp implement and end your life, right here, in front of your keyboard. Or,
you could use the asadmin command change-master-password to redeem yourself from
this self-inflicted torture.  The choice is yours.  Just remeber to use,
--savemasterpassword=true, or you will continue to be taunted and ridiculed by
this evil, vile, dialog.

without saying that...

How about this:

"Your domain's master password is unsaved.  Please enter the master password to
start this domain.

To save the master password in the domain, use the asadmin command
change-master-password with the --savemasterpassword option."

Think this is good info that should be in the dialog (I had to do it myself, and
it caused a marked improvement in my quality of life).
