      Yes. In version 10 anyway - I don't recall if it was there on version 9. Update the "require_dep_ssn" to "true" in the emss_config.xml.

          what about the 2nd tab on that same screen (named "Address") is there a way to hide that entire tab? (as we do not use it)

            Nothing in the configuration file to handle that. You would have to customize the page.

              i changed the following line:
              <!-- Require Social Number when updating dependent? -->
              setting id="require_dep_ssn" value="false"

              to :
              <!-- Require Social Number when updating dependent? -->
              setting id="require_dep_ssn" value="true"

              however, it does not seem to work on "adding" a dependent. would this be different?

                Did you restart WebSphere?

                  I guess, WebSphere restart is not required, If changes should reflect an ios-cache refresh should be enough.

                  You need to code something similar to below for html file, where the field has been declared OR you can add a piece of JavaScript code for field validation.

                   

                  ID: <\input type="text" name="ID" required\>

                   

                  Ignore "\"


                  Rgds,

                    i did 'clear ios cache'
                    as far as the htm file or the js file, which file is it?

                    i think i need to possibly re-compile it.

                    how do i  do that in LID ?

                      I worked on ESS/MSS couple of years back...... You need to do it on LID under your $WEBDIR where the exact file is present.
