Set the Login Page Theme¶
Choose the hierarchy level in which the theme was created or to which the theme belongs.
Choose Role Management > Themes to open the Themes list view.
Click the required Theme Name that you want to use for the Login page.
On the Base tab, select the Use this Theme to style Login page check box.
If the check box is selected, and a theme with the same Interface already has the Login page check box selected, this will result in the disabling of the check box on the existing theme. There can only be one Interface-Login page combination on the system, so that any new themes or updates to existing themes may modify other themes on the system with the same Interface by disabling their Login page attributes. If no Interface is specified, the new login theme will also have its interface set to Administration.
On the Login Page Details tab, enter the required text in the Title field and Banner Text field. The text entered in the Title field will be displayed at the top of the Login page, above the logo. The text entered in the Banner Text field will be displayed at the bottom of the Login page, below the Log In button.
The banner text input box allows for multi-line input so that paragraphs can be created.
The maximum character length of the banner text is 2048 characters.
Banner text is displayed in the format that it is entered into the input box upon configuration. If cookie and security policy references are added, these show as links that open in new browser tabs.
In the Banner Text field, references to the cookie policy and privacy policy are added to the text as placeholders:
{{cookie_policy}}{{privacy_policy}}
Input boxes are available on the Banner input form to add a caption and URL for each.
Although the cookie and privacy policy references are both optional, both their caption and URL fields become mandatory if they are used. The placeholder reference is then also required in the banner input box.
For suggested input on the use of cookies by VOSS-4-UC in the cookie policy text, see VOSS-4-UC Cookie Policy.
Note that if a browser has a blocker installed that prevents new tabs from opening, this will affect the functionality of the links in the login banner.
Privacy policy links can also be added to user menus. Refer to Privacy Policy Menu Items and Manage Privacy Policy Menu Items.
To customize the banner text style, refer to the topic on “Theme Banner Customization” in the “Advanced Configuration Guide”.
Click Save on the button bar when complete to implement the selection.
The Login page theme can also be applied to the login page during the log in process. Do this by adding the suffix ‘?theme=default’ to the login request url.
For example: https://instance/login/?theme=default,
where ‘default’ is one of the themes available in VOSS-4-UC. This usage in the URL will apply and override any theme that is set as the login theme.
