Although you could perform a similar implementation using the Apache Web Server, you may also configure custom error pages using Hybris Commerce's web.xml file using the following XML snippet: <error-page> <error-code>500</error-code> <location>/WEB-INF/views/mobile/pages/error/ServerError.jsp</location> </error-page> <error-page> <error-code>503</error-code> <location>/WEB-INF/views/mobile/pages/error/ServerError.jsp</location> </error-page> <error-page> <exception-type>java.lang.Throwable</exception-type> <location>/WEB-INF/views/mobile/pages/error/ServerError.jsp</location> </error-page>

How Do You Verify Password Encoding for Users and Customers in Hybris Commerce?

Hybris Commerce's default encoding strategy is plain text. Obviously, this encoding strategy is not safe, and must be changed before going live with your Hybris implementation. To verify the encoding strategy has been changed from plain text, you should run the following FlexibleSearch query in HAC or backoffice: select {uid},{password},{encodedPassword}, {passwordEncoding} from {user} where {passwordEncoding} != 'md5' or {passwordEncoding} != 'sha256' or {passwordEncoding} != 'sha512' or {passwordEncoding} != 'pbkdf2'
