OBIEE - Custom Login Message

OBIEE - Customised Login Message

The first thing your users see if they need to login id the login screen and with a little effort you can customise this to "up" the wow factor and provide information.

We will customise the following file.
OBIEE_HOME\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\msgdb\pages\common\signin.html

and as always !!!BACKUP!!! before making changes.

On our non production environments we have a message like below.
...
<div align="center" class="centerDiv">
<table width="180" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
   <tr>
      <td class="lefttop"></td>
      <td class="topmiddle" width="100%" height="12"><span style="background-color:#F6CED8;text-align:center;font-weight:bold;color:#000000">
        You are connecting to a Non-Production environment!
   </span></td>
      <td class="righttop"></td>
   </tr>

   <tr>...

Customised Login Images

You can go further by adding images

Locate the <form id="logonForm" tag, then the table tag below it:
            <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

Underneath add the following lines (assuming that Your_Logo.png is the image):

<tr>
<td>
<img src="fmap:login/Your_Logo.png" style="visibility: visible;" class="defaultHidden" width="280" align="bottom" height="120" alt="Description of Your Logo"/>
</td>
</tr>

Remember if you are uploading an image to put the "Your_Logo.png" file in the following three locations

OBIEE_HOME\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\servers\bi_server1\tmp\_WL_user\analytics_11.1.1\7dezjl\war\res\sk_blafp\b_mozilla_4

OBIEE_HOME\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\servers\bi_server1\tmp\_WL_user\analytics_11.1.1\7dezjl\war\res\sk_blafp\login
