Customize Login Page

Post by CEL3K5 »

Hi All,

is it possible to customize the tm1web login/server selection page, e.g. to put there some Information about upcoming downtimes, etc.

Kindly regards

Peter,

Are you trying this in 10.2.2 or an earlier version?

I know you could do this on earlier version when running on IIS, but I haven't had chance to look at this since the move over to Java. I know Alan has been having lots of fun with the new interface so he may be able to shed some light on it,

I was thinking about how I'd do this with a stand alone JSP application. If I remember rightly the web setup is using Tomcat, which deploys WAR files. So for a stand alone, I would find the JSP page used for the web frame, alter the the script in the JSP file, attach back in to the WAR file and deploy it. You may however be able to get away with simply finding and amending the JSP file and restarting the box. I would try that and see what happens.

I hope a) I'm right about how to deploy the script and b) how to customize the file.

As I mentioned I've not done this yet myself so this is a complete shot in the dark,

Jim.

I am not sure if this needs to be that complicated. In 10.2. the IBM TM1 Web landing page is called swoosh.png and is located in install_dir\\webapps\tm1web\images\login

You can create your own background page suit your purposes but before that speak to IBM make sure the copyright information is protected blah blah.

Give us a shout if you need any more help on this.

Hi all,

thanks for response. The suggested solutions are going in the direction, which i had some thoughts myself. However i won't manipulate original TM1 files, except this intended by IBM. So I hoped that there is another easy way, which I have missed.

Kindly regards

If you don't want to change anything like that at all you can create a page in anything (sharepoint etc.) that has whatever messages you want and then uses the URL API to log the user in and open the main menu page of each TM1 service.
Quick, simple and doesn't touch any packaged files so you don't have to worry too much about things changing with fixpacks etc (apart from the URL API)
