You can replace the splash screen image and other aspects of the sign-on form with images and layout of your choosing. kowal updated for SP2 8/27/2010
This topic describes how to alter the most commonly changed elements.
The standard Process Commander log-in form includes:
In your setting, an image or text that identifies your organization or the application may be more appropriate.
In addition, you can change the text or layout of the log-in form, or change the authentication processing performed upon log-in.
Customize the displayed system node text
In the footer of the log-in form, the text for the system node is the short description of the System Node form.
To customize the displayed System Node text:
To see the changes, log out, and then return to the log-in form in your browser.
In a multinode cluster, repeat steps 3 through 5 for each node listed in the Nodes section of the Systems, Nodes, Requestors gadget.
Create an access group and application RuleSet for guests
Process Commander presents this sign-on form to guest requestors — users who have started the PRServlet servlet but are not yet authenticated. The RuleSet lists of guest users are limited to those RuleSets and versions listed in an access group listed in the BROWSER requestor type.
Promptly after you complete and test any log-in changes for your application, update the RuleSet Version to secure it with a password. This prevents accidental additions of more rules to the RuleSet — additions that might inappropriately become available to unauthenticated guest users.
You may need to repeat steps 3 and 4 after your Process Commander system is upgraded or refreshed, because the upgrade process may overwrite Data-Admin-Requestor instances.
Save the custom splash page as a series of binary file rule
The standard splash page is comprised of the following images:
Image |
Dimensions |
Description |
webwb.pxloginbackground.jpg | 1738x1104 px | The background of the splash page, as defined in the body CSS element of the @baseclass.Web-Login HTML rule. |
webwb.pxloginbutton.png | 125x36 px | The background of the "Login" button on the splash page, as defined in the .loginbutton class of the @baseclass.Web-Login HTML rule. |
webwb.pxlogindivbackground.png | 524x524 px | The background of the div element that contains the standard User Name and Password text boxes, as defined in the #logo div element in the @baseclass.Web-Login HTML rule. |
To edit the component images,
Change log-in form text and layout
The standard HTML rule named @baseclass.Web-Login defines the HTML code that presents the log-in form. You can override this to change the layout, wording, fonts, and colors used in the form. This procedure requires two workstations.
Change authentication processing
The standard activity Code-Security.Login defines authentication for browser-based users. Rather than overriding this sophisticated standard activity, you can alter the Submit button of the HTML form to call your activity that in turn calls the standard activity.
Use caution when developing and testing this processing. Design or coding errors may produce a dangerous or costly situation:

The standard HTML rule @baseclass.Web-Session-Return defines the appearance of the log out form. You can override this rule to suit local needs. The RuleSet containing your log out form must be available to guest requestors. H-18 Vidoni
