Managing the login banner using the UI
You can create a customized text banner that appears when you sign in to Access Appliance UI or the system console. You can use the login banner to communicate various kinds of messages to users. Typical uses for the login banner include legal notices, warning messages, and company policy information.
If the Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) mode is enabled for the cluster, the login banner cannot be modified.
To set the login banner:
- Log in to the web interface of a configured Access Appliance cluster by opening a supported browser and typing:
http://console-ip:14161
where console-ip is the management console IP address where the web interface is hosted.
- In the left navigation pane, click Settings and then click User management.
- Click Manage sign-in banner.
If a banner is already set, the Manage sign-in banner page displays the current banner.
- On the Manage sign-in banner page, click Edit.
- (Optional) Under Sign-in banner heading, enter the banner heading. The heading can be a maximum of 250 characters.
- Under Sign in banner text, enter the text for the banner message. The message can be a maximum of 4000 characters.
- To review the changes, click Preview.
- To confirm the changes, click Save.
