Consider the error page from Azure B2C

Azure B2C global exception

Question 1: How can we customize the text in this image?

Question 2: Should we expect only this text and html structure (h2 and some divs) to appear or may it change depending on the internal/server error?

Question 3: The custom policy is validated only if we add <RecoveryUri>~/common/default_page_error.html</RecoveryUri>, but this url seems inexistant and we do not know what it is meant to display??

We are using custom policies with a ContentDefinition DataUri

 <DataUri>urn:com:microsoft:aad:b2c:elements:contract:globalexception:1.2.0</DataUri>

Went through: Azure B2C custom policy how to test an error page custom screen

Thank you for any help

  1. According to the documentation, there does not appear to be a built-in way of customizing or localizing the text on the error page. I tried creating a LocalizedString of the UxElement type with a StringId of error-help (That appears to be the content ID of the body text if you examine the page source) but it didn't seem to do anything. Even when using the ui_locales query param described here and setting my browser language, the page is always displayed in English. It looks like the only way to customize the text on the error page is with custom HTML/CSS/JS for now.

  2. As far as I can tell, the globalexception data URI (The data contract associated with the api.error content definition) is consistent in its HTML structure. The error-title and error-help text is always the same, but the correlation ID, timestamp, and exception message will differ depending on the circumstances.

  3. RecoveryUri doesn't appear to be used according to the docs. It's required element of the ContentDefinition block and can only ever have a value of '~/common/default_page_error.html'. Not sure what its future intended purpose is, but perhaps it's meant to serve as a fallback if the LoadUri fails. For now, it just has to be that constant value in all of your content definitions because, uh, reasons.
