Hi,
I have added my own html logon page i the folder webcontent. In the html page I integrated the following form to manage the correct login to cognos

<!-- begin: main content area #main -->
<div id="main">
<!-- begin: #col1 - first float column -->
<div id="col1">
<div id="col1_content" class="clearfix">
<form name="logon" method="post" action="http://xxxxx/cognos/cgi-bin/cognos.cgi" class="yform">
<input type="hidden" name="CAMNamespace" value="UV" />
<input type="hidden" name="m" value="portal/main.xts" />
<input type="hidden" name="b_action" value="xts.run" />
<h4>Anmeldung</h4>
<div class="type-text">
<label for="id">Login ID</label>
<input type="text" name="CAMUsername" id="rz_id" size="20" />
<label for="pw">Passwort</label>
<input type="password" name="CAMPassword" id="pw" size="20" />
<input name="h_CAM_action" value="logonAs" type="hidden" />
</div>
<div class="type-button">
<input id="cmdOK" value="OK" onclick="javascript:processCommand('ok'); return false;" type="submit" />
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>


That works fine, but I have the problem with the redirect if there is an error or the wron password for example. I have postet it here in this forum but with no result.

In the Cognos connection portal I have integrated my own header, with my own text. I have added my own html in the system.xml (cognos/templates/ps/portal) like it is descrbed to add your own logo.
