Customizing Help Documentation in Secret Server

How to customize your help documentation:

  1. Locate your Secret Server installation on your server. For example, C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\SecretServer.
  2. Locate the customresources folder.
  3. Open the folder of the language you wish to supply help. To determine which folder is your language, refer to this KB article: http://support.thycotic.com/Customer/KBArticle.aspx?articleid=9.
    If the folder with your language does not exist, create it using the LCID number of your language.
    If you created this folder, locate the pages.xml file in the resources/9 folder, and copy it into your newly created folder.
  4. In your languages folder, create a folder called "help" if it does not exist.
  5. Add HTM files containing your help to the help folder. Name your HTM documents as you wish them to appear in Secret Server. You must prefix them with 2 digit number and a hyphen. For example, 01-Custom Help.htm Secret Server will determine the order of the help to be displayed by the numeric prefix.
  6. The help will now automatically appear in Secret Server for that language.
