Custom login screen.. any hints ?

[Former Member]

Hi all,

We'd like to have a login screen sligthly different from the standard one (some links should be removed, some others created).

Should we create our own starting from scratch ? (new web dynpro view...). In this case, could someone gives some hints:

- is there some bapi that can be executed to authenticate user

- is there some bapi that can be executed to change user password / langage...

Would it be better to customize standard login screen ? Our application is standalone (not in portal).

In this case, can someone tell me how to customize it ? I've read some documentation on changing this login screen in portal (by customizing .par file)... Should we do the same ?

Thanks in advance

Thanks Marius...

Actually I was looking for a more complex customisation !

I'd like to hide links Support and Register...

Also, I'd like to add some feature: Choose connexion language for example...

Hello TWM,

the support and register links can be controlled with the UM settings ume.logon.logon_help and ume.logon.selfreg. For more complex customization you might want to create your own login screen component as a copy of the standard component: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/ep/customizing the logon user interface of sap enterprise portal 6.0

Hi Martin,

Thank you very much for information about support and self registration links.

I already had a look at the tutorial you are talking about, but it seems to me that this is related to portal (only ?). My WD application is standalone, therefore I can't find the PAR file

on my server...

Is there any other possibility ?

Thank you very much
