Hello, you can create your own customized login page and brand it according to your company requirements.  You can get started by tracing through the code for default.htm located in your Cognos install.

well, maybe the proven practices application within the support.cognos.com website can help you. It is called 'JavaServlet to Redirect Logoff From Cognos Connection (Cognos 8)'. You can find it in proven practice -> Developement -> Utilities.

cheers

Hello , We came across similar requirement to custom cognos logon page. Can you please help me out in fixing it. We are using cognos8.3
My default.htm page as shown below -

<html>
   <head>
      <meta name="Copyright" content="Copyright (C) 2007 Cognos Incorporated. All rights reserved."/>
      <meta name="Trademark" content="Cognos (R) is a trademark of Cognos Incorporated."/>
      <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; uRL=cgi-bin/cognos.cgi?b_action=xts.run&m=portal/main.xts&startwel=yes">
   </head>
   <body style="background-color:#ffffff">
      <div align="center">
         <img src="skins/corporate/branding/portal_splash.gif" style="position:relative; top:80px">
      </div>
   </body>
</html>

I felt like all the code is coming from cognos.cgi which is encrypted. Please let me know how to modify it.

Thanks in advance,
Shalini

Hi,

My requirement is Customizing the Log on page as if i enter wrong credentials
instead of getting the message like "The provided credentials are invalid.Please type your credentials for authentication" i need to provide some link.For that  i have modified System.xml as

<logon enabled="true">
     <base-template-name>bad_credentials_redirect_link</base-template-name>               
</logon>


& i placed bad_credentials_redirect_link.xhtml file  in \cognos\c10\webcontent\ps\login folder,bad_credentials_redirect_link.xhtml this file contains the code as

<div id="%CL_PROMPT_badCredentialsEntered_caption%">
Visit Google
</div>

But i'm not getting,Can you guide me to go forward.


Regards,
Rakesh
