Hi,

When users logon to cognos namespace then I have to display some text above the 'Please type your credentials for authentication.'on the logon page. Could anyone let me know if this is possible? thanks

I went through those articles which mention about welcome page but not logon page. I would like modify changes on logon page not on the cognos connection. Thanks for the info.

You can create a custom login page to show up any information you want.

<script language="JavaScript">

function submitForm() {

//submit the form and redirect to a new window
repWindow = window.open(document.logon.submit());

//this alert slows down the window open/close allowing the form to be submitted
alert("Transfering to Cognos Connection");
repWindow.close();
