Hi,
With the Support of this link (http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/data/library/cognos/security/cognos_bi_platform/page546.html),
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 (http://www.google.com/)
</div>
after changing the code in cognos also it is not reflecting,Can i re-start any server or can i do any thing to reflect plz let me know.
Note: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.

Hi Rakesh,
For every system.xml change you will have to restart the services. I would definitely restart cognos services on the dispatcher where you made the changes.
Thanks,

can you point me where/what xml file to configure when i want change the login page's background.
Before the image name was swoosh, all i have to do is override this image with the image i want with same dimensions. But its not working in 10.2.1. There still is no background shown.
Hi Cognos810,

Hi Rakesh,
Have you tried using Cognos Theme Designer ?
Regards
Hi,
No,i think Cognos Theme Designer is to create themes for a customized look and feel of the IBM Cognos BI.
