Summation Tutorial:

Customizing the Login Page for WebBlaze 2.X

Overview:

Summation WebBlaze Version 2.X allows administrators to customize the interface of the WebBlaze Login Page to better integrate into their existing Internet infrastructures. Administrators can customize the areas above and below the login box area on the Login Page. This requires administrators to create two HTML files: loginTop.html to customize the area above and loginBottom.html to customize the area below. The names of these files are case-sensitive, so be sure to capitalize the file names as shown. Specify the customized text and graphics using standard HTML or an HTML editor of your choice.

The following figure shows a sample loginTop.html file. This sample includes the custom text "Acme Law Firm Remote Access" and the AcmeLawBanner.jpg graphic file.

Steps

1. Create the HTML files for the customization of the top and bottom portions of the Login Page. Name the files loginTop.html and loginBottom.html, respectively. Be sure to capitalize the files as shown.
2. On the WebBlaze server, browse to the WebBlaze directory. This is typically C:\inetpub\wwwroot\WebBlaze.
3. Create a new subdirectory named "WBASP." The directory name is case-sensitive, so be sure to use all capital letters.
4. Copy the logos and HTML files that you want to display on the custom login page into the WBASP subdirectory.

The following figure shows and example of a customized WebBlaze Login Page, which uses the HTML sample files shown above.
