Can you customize the Insight login page?


Jackie Albert (1.6k14947) | asked Jun 11 '13, 10:34 a.m.
Is there a way to customize or update the Insight login page/splash screen?  We'd like the ability to alert users about upcoming outages or upgrades and add this to the main page as a reminder. Also, it would be nice to add a server identifier to the main page for development purposes. 

For example, when I log into Framework Manager I get a popup to authenticate in the report server.  Unless I bring up Cognos Configuration and check, I don't know if I'm authenticating against my production Insight server, test server, or development server. This is important because we don't want to prematurely publish a Framework Manager package or ETL package to production before it has been fully tested.

Hello Jackie,

It looks like the login background image is loaded from the following URL:
http://server:port/reporting/ps/login/images/login_form.png

which would correspond to the file:
[WAS Instalation Folder]\profiles\RationalReporting\installedApps\WIN-8COGOPO9D2YNode01Cell\IBM Cognos.ear\p2pd.war\ps\login\images\login_form.png

If you edit the image, the change should persist unless you have to redeploy the application.

Customized Login Screen

Best Regards
Francesco
