Customizing the Web Client Login Screen

You can implement a custom login page that modifies the footer of the Web Client Login Page.

Custom Footer on Document Management System Web Client

To customize the login page you have to create an HTML file that contains the footer information for the FileHold Web Client Login page. Then configure the FileHold Web Client’s web.config file a text editor, such as Notepad, to explain where this HTM/HTML file resides so that the Web Client loads in this footer information. The HTML file should be in a sub folder of the WebClient folder called CUSTOM. This folder already exists in the directory. The file name with content that should be visible on the login page should end with .html, .htm or .aspx ONLY!. Files with different extensions will not be capable of being displayed in the login page. You can download the sample files in zip format (unzip and read the read me file) http://download-filehold.com/DEMO/FileHold085/FileHold85-CustomLoginPage.zip.

Before You Begin

Make a copy of the WebClient’s web.config in the inetpub\wwwroot\FH\FileHold\WebClient\ for Windows Server 2003 and C:\Program Files\FileHold Systems\Application Server\WebClient\ for Windows Server 2008 .
Plan to do this after hours, as you will have to restart IIS / WWW services on the server to make the change go live. Restarting the server will interrupt any FileHold users.
Always copy in the HTML file into the appropriate folder.

Procedure

With a text editor, such as Notepad, open the customization.html page located in inetpub\wwwroot\FH\FileHold\WebClient\Custom folder for Windows Server 2003 or C:\Program Files\FileHold Systems\Application Server\WebClient\Custom for Windows Server 2008.
Add your content to this page. Do no change existing information; you are only adding to this page. For example:

<br> Welcome to the FileHold Corporate Document Management System</br>

<a href="http://www.InstantSSL.com" title="SSL Certificate Authority" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 10px; text-decoration: none;"><img src="/FH/FileHold/WebClient/images/InstantSSL-DV_tl_white.gif" alt="Certificate Authority" title="SSL Certificate Authority" border="0" /><br />SSL Certificate Authority</a></center>

</div>

Open the web.config file in a text editor, such as Notepad. It is located in inetpub\wwwroot\FH\FileHold\WebClient folder for Windows Server 2003 or C:\Program Files\FileHold Systems\Application Server\WebClient for Windows 2008 Server.
Locate and modify the LoginCustomizationPath key value from the appSettings section of the WebClient to contain the path to the LoginCustomization.html page you create or modify:

Restart IIS and launch the login page from a new browser window.
