2.1 Customizing the Identity Server Login Page

You can create custom login pages that are displayed when the user authenticates to the Identity
Server. There are a multitude of reasons for customizing the login page. You might want to remove
the Novell branding and replace it with your company's brands. You might need to authenticate
users with non-default attributes (such as an e-mail address rather than a username). You also might
be fronting several protected resources with an Access Gateway, and you need to create a unique
login page for each resource.
When you customize the login page:
You need to decide on the type of page to use. See


You need to configure the Identity Server to display the correct login page. See

"Configuring the Identity Server to Use Custom Login Pages," on page
If the custom page doesn't display, you need to discover the cause. See

"Troubleshooting Tips for Custom Login Pages," on page
