How to customize login page: hide 2 tibco images, help and info topics and add custom welcome message.

Question:

How to customize login page?

I would like to hide 2 Tibco images, help and info topics and add custom welcome message.

Answer:

This approach is well documented in the documentation

(JasperServer Ultimate Guide 6.2, paragraph 6.4, customizing login page),

however I have got complaints that this information was not helpful and did not allow

to achieve the desired result.

After I got the feedback above I decided to do such

customization in my test instance of JasperReports Server 6.2.

Below I would like to share with you the approach

that has been used to:

- remove 2 company logos

- remove all help and info topics on the left

part of the login page

- add custom welcome message to the login page

1. Remove images and info topics:

With the software is supplied a set of themes.

My suggestion is to check all your modifications

not with the default theme but with one of the themes

which you can find in the Themes folder.

In my case I used easy_access theme:

This was done to easily backup to default theme

in case of any error. It is recommended

to check any changes with non-default theme.

To apply your changes to easy_access theme

you just need to navigate to overrides_custom.css

file that is stored under this theme,

right click on this file, select Edit

and then upload your file with customizations

instead of the empty one that is stored

in this theme:

After this you should set this theme as the default

one and logout from the application:

Below I quote the contents of overrides_custom.css file:

#loginPage #welcome .logo {
    display: none;    
}   

#loginForm .devices {    
background-image: none;
background-position: 0 0;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 439px auto;
height: 201px;
margin: 36px auto;
width: 440px;
}

#loginPage #rotating {
    display: none;
}

To add my company welcome message I:

- uncommented LOGIN_WELCOME_OS message in

jasperserver-proWEB-INFjspmodulesloginlogin.jsp

page

- updated LOGIN_WELCOME_OS message in the configuration file

jasperserver-proWEB-INFbundlesjasperserver_messages.properties

- saved configuration file

- restarted the application server to apply the changes that have been done

Please see the screenshot below:

I've attached to the article all files that I modified to achieve

the desired goal.
