Custom Notification Template

[RSAAdmin]

Has anyone created a custom notification template easily? I found that RSA forces you to learn another backend language called freemarker in order to accomplish this. The documentation for creating one (link shown below), is not intuitive and doesnt explain the language in enough detail to help a user create a simple notification email/sms. Please advise.

there is no easy way on the ESA templates... , you'll have to read a little on freemarker to be familiar with.... here's a link to the documentation, you'll have to understand where are the RSA values are stored and how to use the variables, and a little bit of html doesnt hurt

And then create your own templates, with trial and error.

Hope this helps

Thanks! Sounds like this is something that RSA needs to develop, the product should interpret the backend language for the end user, not forcing the user to learn another language to make it work

I have successfully modified the templates to create e.g., alerts listed in columns for user-based and network-based alerts.

It involved a bit of trial and error, but by creating an alert I could easily trigger(my user logging on to a particular device), and watching the email output, it wasn't that difficult.

Converting Java time into a human-readable time was the hardest part.

Thanks for the update! Can you please share the code you've used?

BTW - are you planning on attending RSA Charge this year?

Thanks.

I agree. I already have too many languages to learn.
