Portal Customizations Intro - Login Part 2

[kai_unewisse3]

After i showed you the Portal Customizations Intro - Login Part 1 , we a diving now a little bit deeper.  I will also provide a FAQ section of some questions i saw earlier in forums.

In the upcoming part 3 I will go into the details of easy changes in the Portal Customizations Intro - Look&Feel Part 3

 

Dynamic Images and Links

 

I want to archive a Logon page that looks different for different user. The final PAR file should also work through the DEV, QUA (and sometimes Staging STG ) and PRD without changes in the code. The  user will access the portal in all cases via different URLs. Hence we have to check the Request URL which can be accessed in a Java Servlet .   In the code below we look in which system we are:

j2eeclusterserver0appssap.comcom.sap.security.core.adminservlet_jsplogon
ootlayout

2. Add the images you want

3. Delete  sapportalsjspumLogonPage.class

4. Log on to the Portal as administrator and go here:

System Administration -> System Configuration -> UM Configuration.

5. Click on the "Direct Editing" tab in the System Administrator UME settings.

6. Change the parameter:

ume.logon.branding_image=/logon/layout/YOUR_BRANDING_IMAGE_FILE.gif

7. Remember to empty your browser cache and hit CTRL-F5 to refresh the page.

Q: I uploaded the par file without changing the name. Now I get an iview n/a exception.How can I get back to my old Par file ?

A: The only way is getting it from an other environment (hopefully it was in DEV only), because you have overwritten the original file.
