Enabling the pre-login banner for the administrative console

You can specify a pre-login banner to display important information or a set of conditions before users log in to the administrative console.

1. Find the login.info file in the ${WAS_HOME}\properties directory.
2. Open the login.info file and follow the instructions in the HTML comment section to create the pre-login banner.
   The following example shows acceptable content for the pre-login banner. The login.info.button property is set to 'Accept' in the console.properties file.

   <p><strong>Consent Information Title</strong></p>
   <p>Before you proceed to this site you must consent to the following conditions:</p>
   <ul>
       <li>Condition 1</li>
       <li>Condition 2</li>
       <li>Condition 3</li>
   </ul>
   <p>Click 'Accept' to continue.</p>

   Important: The login.info file accepts plain text and the following HTML elements:

   • <a>
   • <br>
   • <i>
   • <em>
   • <b>
   • <strong>
   • <p>
   • <ul>
   • <li>

   Your banner content does not format properly whenever any other HTML element is used.
3. Change the login.info and console.properties files as described in the HTML comment section of the login.info file.
4. Save your changes.
5. Access the administrative console and verify that the pre-login banner is displayed before the login page.

   After you click the confirmation button on the pre-login banner, the banner disappears and you see the administrative console login page.

   Detailed steps are in the login.info file.
