Customise the non-SSL or SSL Login Page

Updated

This article applies only to On-Premise Appliance, not to our Cloud products.

You can customise your SSL and non-SSL Login pages with your organisation’s branding or welcome message.

  Note

To show the Google or Azure sign-in button on the Login pages, you must set up Google or Azure sign-in.

Before you begin

For the Login page to work, ensure you have a Smoothwall access rule to Accept traffic for the Other web access on HTTPS (442) service.

Customise the Login page

  1. Go to Services > Authentication > SSL login.
  2. For Title Image or Background Image:
    • Select the arrow to view the current image.
    • Select Choose file to select an image to upload.
      • The page scales the Logo image to a width of 250px.
      • The page crops the Background image to a height of 350px and a width of 520px.
      • The maximum file size is 1 MB.
    • Select Delete, then Save changes to remove the custom image. The Login pages then uses the default Smoothwall image.
  3. You can change the SSL login page text from the default message: ‘Please login to provide access to the Web’.
  4. For certificates:
    • If you use the SSL Login page:
      • You can change the certificate if it’s expired, or you want to use a certificate from a real-world Certificate Authority or vendor. In the SSL certificate section, select the UI preferences link to go to the System > Preferences > User interface page and change the certificate.
      • In the Customise SSL login section, select the checkbox to Display a link to the inspection root certificate download page. This allows users to install the certificate from the getcert page.
    • If you only use the non-SSL Login page, users can sign in without installing the certificate on their device.
  5. Select Save changes.

You can review the SSL Login page by opening it in your browser. For example, go to your Smoothwall’s IP address or hostname followed by /clogin. For example, https://1.2.3.4:442/clogin
