Logon Screen Custumization

[Former Member]

Hi,

I followed below steps to custumize logon screen.

But NO luck is this is the correct way or do we need to any toher changes.Please send me some helpful documents.Which resolves the problem.

i) The Logon screen files are in ( a zipped file) com.sap.portal.runtime.logon which can be copied from

">Import .

b.) Choose the option PAR file. Select Next and a popup window

appears.

c) Fill in the details in the screen which poped up .

iv) If the Par file is imported without any errors then we are set to make changes in the jsp files and the images the jsp files can to seen in the NWDS navigate to the PORTAL-INF through the dist folder.

V)There are seven jsp files and four text files which comprises of basic functionality of the Logon Page.

Changing The Text

VI)Before we move on to changing the text it is necessary to know how does that text appear on the screen .The text is stored in umelogonbase.jar which is in the lib folder of PORTAL-INF.( There has to be two files umelogonbase.jar and com.sap.portal.runtime.logon_api.jar , if these files are not there ,then unzip the original par file and copy from them .If These files are not there then while deploying it will show Error).

VII)Once you open the umelogonbase.jar file there are some properties file which define the messages according to the language.Locate logonLabels_en.properties which contains the message ¡§WELCOME¡¨ under xtit_WELCOME.

Change the message and save the file.

This message is called from umLogonTopArea.txt .This txt file is included in the UmLogon.

Deploying The New Par File :-

In order to Upload the new par we need to comfigure the deployment descriptor.For

this we will make use of the j2ee engine. STOP THE J2EE ENGINE AND PORTAL.

1. Open The offlinecfgeditor .bat under the directory

¡§sapJ2EJC00j2eeconfigtool¡¨.

2. Switch to edit mode by clicking on the icon.it will open a confirmation dialog

box.click yes..

Step 1

3. Navigate till cluster_data/server/persistent/com.sap.security.core.ume.service

4. In the tree, select authschemes.xml and choose Download. Save the file (Since we

do not want to tamper the Initial setting swe will make Custoomized deployment

descriptor).

5. Open the file and replace the Occurrence of com.sap.poratl.runtime.logon with your par file name ( don¡¦t change the rest part such as basicauthentication),and save it with a new name.

6. Navigate till com.sap.security.core.ume.service. and choose create symbol from

the toolbar available.

Select the type File-entry.Click on the Upload and select the custom file (which

you have made).Press create and close the window.Check whether the new node

appears or not in the configuration tree.

u201E« Navigate till cluster_data/server/cfg/services.

u201E« Double click on the Property sheet of com.sap.security.core.ume.service. and give uploaded xml file name.

u201E« Click on login. Authschemes.definition file in configtool and set the custum custum file name.

Hi Shwetha,

I would recomend the second way for Logon Screen Customization the winzip one.

First take the backup of original .par file and then open the .zip file using winzip copy the contents of concerned file in any good editor like notepad++.

Make the changes as per your requirement and save it within the structure with same name.

In that way everything is maintained and this is a very fast way for logon screen customization.

Hi,

Once you import the logon par file into NWDS. and after making the changes to the jsp file in the par. did u build the new par file.

My suggestion is once you build the par file then export the new par file with the same name(orignal par file name) then in portal go to system admin->support ->

after that click portal runtime -> adminsitration console

Upload the par file.

If the par file is giving error then again deploy the old pa file for safe. Take care of storing the original par file before playing.

Hi Shwetha,

Make sure that the par file which u have updated is there in path or not.

Just download the currently running logon.par.bak file from the path

sap.com/irj/servlet_jsp/irj/root/web-inf/deployment/pcd/ and extract it .

Check whether u r updations r there or not.
