Page Comparison

Overview

Customisation of the standard Yellowfin Login Page can be performed two ways:

...

You will need to clear your browser cache once replacing these images in order for them to appear.

Note: the images you wish to use as replacements will need to have the same name as the files listed above in order for the page to pick them up. You no longer have to overwrite the originals, simply place your new images in the custom directory. This will mean that they will not be overwritten during the upgrade process.

...

In order to ensure Yellowfin uses this file instead of the standard option, you will need to complete the following while Yellowfin is not running:

1. Stop Yellowfin

2. Locate the web.xml file found in Yellowfin\appserver\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF and locate the following:

   Code Block
   language html/xml
   <!-- The Welcome File List --> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index_mi.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list>

   1. Update the welcome-file node to reference your new login page's name. For example:

      Code Block
      language html/xml
      <!-- The Welcome File List --> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>login_companyName.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list>

   2. Save the changes to the web.xml.
3. Edit your new login page, locating any references to index_mi.jsp and update to your login page name. For example:

   1. This

      Code Block
      language javascript
      <input type="hidden" name="<%=Const.INDEX_PAGE%>" value="/index_mi.jsp" />

      Will become

      Code Block
      language javascript
      <input type="hidden" name="<%=Const.INDEX_PAGE%>" value="/login_companyName.jsp" />

   2. And this

      Code Block
      language javascript
      Const.INDEX_PAGE +"=/index_mi.jsp"

      Will become

      Code Block
      language javascript
      Const.INDEX_PAGE +"=/login_companyName.jsp"

   3. Save the changes to your login page.
4. In order to ensure your page is used once a user logs out, as well as the initial log in, a change needs to be made in the Yellowfin Configuration DB. In the DB:

   1. In the Configuration table, locate the record where ConfigCode = 'LOGONPAGE' and update the ConfigData = 'login_companyName.jsp' using:

      Code Block
      language sql
      UPDATE dbo.Configuration SET ConfigData = 'login_companyName.jsp' WHERE ConfigCode = 'LOGONPAGE'

5. Restart Yellowfin
