8.7 Web authentication window change function

You can use an operation command to replace the pages that appear during the Web authentication process (for example, the login and logout pages) with your own HTML files. If a file corresponding to a page listed below is contained in the directory you specify in the operation command, the switch replaces the default page with the new file. You can also register image files in GIF and other formats. Note that during registration the command checks only the size of the file, not its contents. Make sure that the HTML and image files in the folder you specify work correctly before you replace the default pages.

The pages you can replace are listed below.

Replaceable pages:

• Login page

• Logout page

• Login success page

• Login failed page

• Logout completed page

• Logout failed page

• Reply-Message page

You can use another operation command to delete the Web authentication pages you registered. In this case, the default pages are restored.

You can also replace the authentication error messages shown in Table 8-6: Authentication error messages and error reason correspondence tables.

This process also lets you replace the icon (favicon.ico) that represents the pages in the Favorites menu of the Web browser.

For more information on these files, see 9.3 Web Authentication Window Creation Guide.

If the registration process is interrupted in one of the following ways, a situation might arise in which the default pages appear instead of the registered pages, despite the results of the show web-authentication html-files operation command indicating that registration was successful.

• You intentionally interrupt the registration process by pressing CTRL + C

• You log in via a Telnet console, and the Telnet connection is dropped for some reason during the registration process

If the process of registering Web authentication pages is interrupted, try the registration process again.
