Welcome/warning banner

Chris Bartram — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 18:01:09 GMT

Is it possible to configure a site-specific welcome/warning banner either before the login page or via embedding text in the login page of HP SIM?

Thanks,

Chris

Not sure if it works in the newest version, but up to SIM 6.3 you can edit the file

<drive>\HP\Systems Insight Manager\hpwebadmin\webapps\ROOT\login.jsp

to add things like pre-filling the domain field.

Sadly the original ITRC thread from 2006 has been mangled, so here is the original post

Hi,
There is a way to modify this.
On your HP SIM server, search for a file named: login.jsp
the one you are looking for should be located under: <drive_and path>\"HP\Systems Insight Manager\hpwebadmin\webapps\ROOT"
Make a backup of this file and then edit the following line:
<input type="text" name="<%=MxLoginPage.DOM_DOMAIN%>" id="<%=MxLoginPage.DOM_DOMAIN%>" onKeyup="resetPageRefreshTimer()" maxlength='<%=MxLoginPage.MAXLENGTH_DOMAIN%>'value="XXX">
Where XXX is your domain.
A normal none-modified line of that looks like this:
<input type="text" name="<%=MxLoginPage.DOM_DOMAIN%>" id="<%=MxLoginPage.DOM_DOMAIN%>" onKeyup="resetPageRefreshTimer()" maxlength='<%=MxLoginPage.MAXLENGTH_DOMAIN%>'>
hope this helps

As I examined the login.jsp file you mentioned, I see the following code within it... Perhaps there is a documented means of adding site-specific banners/prompts to the login page after all? Any details on this?

<%
    // support to add custom prompt to login page
    File f = new File(application.getRealPath("prompt"));
    if (f.exists())
    {
        JspRuntimeLibrary.include(request, response, "prompt", out, false);
    }
%>

Yes, it is very much possible with HP SIM

Here is the procedure to modify the Welcome banner:

(Screenshots attached for ref. example)

Step 1: Navigate to:
C:\Program Files\HP\Systems Insight Manager\config\globalsettings.props

Step 2: Open globalsettings.props file & find

ANNOTATION_BANNER_HTML=
ANNOTATION_BROWSER_TITLE_TEXT=
ANNOTATION_SIGN_IN_PAGE_HTML=

Step 3: After the equal sign (=) add a space then the text which you want to enter

Step 4: Save the file

Step 5: Open HP SIM page, you will see it with the modified banner
