Hi Saumya,

Upload the par file to the server using Netweaver Developer Studio or thru the portal. Then you have to make changes to the authschemes.xml file. You can read more about how to do it at :

<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/23/c0e240beb0702ae10000000a155106/frameset.htm">Customizing the Logon Screens</a> and <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/1a/3afd4e641b8f42ac07bb77fe30375b/frameset.htm">Changing the authschemes.xml File</a>.

Once you change your authschemes.xml file, restart your server for the changes to take effect.

Hope this helps you.

Hi Saumya,

Import the par file as a project in NWDS. Browse through the tree structure of the project. In the PORTAL-INF folder, various jsps are available.

1)<b>umLogonPage.jsp</b>

2)umLogonCertPage.jsp

3)umResetPasswordPage.jsp

4)changePasswordPage.jsp

5)umHelpPage.jsp

6)umLogonProblemPage.jsp

7)umLogoffPage.jsp

<b>8)umLogonTopArea.txt

9)umLogonBotArea.txt.</b>

Inorder to change the images, text in the logon page you need to edit Files 1,8,9 .

Hope it helps.

Hi Saumya,

As Saravanan has explained, you have to edit those three files to customize your login page. Now before you start working on the customization, you have to understand how they have organized the login page in these three files.

UmLogonTopArea.txt file contains the code for rendering the "Welcome" text.

UmLogonPage.jsp contains the code for rnedering the left part of your login page i.e. the area where the login and password fields come.

UmLogonBotArea.txt contains the code for rendering the branding image, Netweaver image, copyright text and the logo.

So edit the corresponding file as per your requirement and then upload the par file.

Remember to add the two jar files com.sap.portal.runtime.logon_api.jar and umelogonbase.jar files to the lib folder of your project and set the build path before you create the par file.

Hope this helps you.

Hello,

But wt path in these three files do i need to edit, as these files as such do not have any path given .where in these files should i make the changes.Kindly explain clearly.

Thanx,

Saumya

Hi Saumya,

The SAP logo is referenced in umLogonBotArea.txt as sapLogo.gif.

The branding image branding-image.jpg is referenced in umLogonBotArea.txt.

Edit the images name in these files and put your new images in the layout folder of the project.

If u want to remove the " register now" option in the logon screen, remove the self registration tag in the umLogonPage.jsp

Hi

I'm on SP14 and have done it like this:

Do your simple changes in Direct editing like setting selfreg to false, change branding images and so on.

Take a copy of com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par.bak and deploy it into NWDS under a new name. NWDS has a bug so the jar files is not included. Therefore unzip the par file from fx Totalcommander and copy the 2 jar files (com.sap.portal.runtime.logon_api and umelogonbase) from PORTAL-INF/lib to PORTAL-INF/lib in your project in NWDS.

Do your changes, fx remove SAP logon and so on.

Deploy the par file under a new name(do NOT use com.sap…..)

Go to the portal server and remove the .bak extension from your new par file

Stop the instance

Change the authschemes.xml file like described here http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/1a/3afd4e641b8f42ac07bb77fe30375b/content.htm (Remember to use a new name for the authscheme)

Start the instance

Hope it helps

Hi Somya,

the most interesting files to customize are umLogonPage.jsp, umLogonBotArea.txt and umLogonTopArea.txt.

Because the jar files included in the pars are not automatically imported, you need to do it manually. First, extract the pars to the file system.

Then in NWDS go to “File” -> “Import” -> “File System” and select the content of the path “com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par\PORTAL-INF\lib”. Click on “browse” and select the project folder “lib”. You have to repeat this step once for the “private/lib” path .

Edit the files and save.

Click on “Create/Export PAR file”, select the project and change the par file name to “com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.yourcompany.par”.

Hi Somya,

To change logon image we need to modify the com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par.bak file

import this par file into NNWDS. Under the folder portal-inf->private->jsp there are a few standard jsps available.

edit the umlogonpage.jsp. here you can find an option for changing the link to image.

Then move the image to irj/root folder.

export your par file

then edit the authschemes.xml from usr/sap/<instance>/JC00/j2ee/configtool

and replace. com.sap.runtime.logon name to your new par file name and change the authshceme.xml with a new file name and upload it again.

hope it helps.

Hi Somya,

To change the logon page image, u need not go for changing the par files. Go directly to

System Administration->System Configuration->UM Configuration->Direct Editing

Modify ume.logon.branding_image property with the new image file.

Put the image also in the server in the path.

usr\sap\J2E\JC00\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\com.sap.security.core.admin\servlet_jsp\logon\root\layout folder.

Save all changes and restart the server.This will change the image in the login page.

For making other changes, u can import the par file into NWDS and edit the jsps in it.

Hi sowmya,

Link to download Netweaver developer studio:

===================================================

Follow the path specified below:

https://websmp108.sap-ag.de/swdc => SAP Support Packages => Support Packages and Patches => SAP NetWeaver =>SAP NETWEAVER => SAP NETWEAVER 04 => Entry by Component => Developer Studio => SAP NW DEVELOPER STUDIO 2.0 =>Win32.

In this path, you can select the version of the Deneloper studio.

To edit the branding image, goto system administration => system configuration => UM configuration => Direct editing

In that,change the value of the parameter <b>um.logon.branding-image</b> as the path to your new image.

Paste the new image in the layout folder of the modified par file.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Yoga

Hi Somya,

The branding image will be set in the property.

ume.logon.branding_image=/logon/layout/branding-image.jpg

If ur image is logo.jpg, just replace the path as

ume.logon.branding_image=/logon/layout/logo.jpg

Don't forget to paste this image in the path

usr\sap\J2E\JC00\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\com.sap.security.core.admin\servlet_jsp\logon\root\layout

because the above path looks for the image in this folder only.

Hope this helps.

Hi Somya,

Try this link : <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/23/c0e240beb0702ae10000000a155106/frameset.htm">Customizing the Logon Screens</a>

To extract the par file you can use either winzip or do it through Netweaver Developer Studio.

Hope this helps you.

Hi Sonmya,

the best is to use the Netweaver Developer Studio for that, you can download it from the service marketplace. You can import the par file there, edit the JSP's and rededploy the changed par directly into the portal.
