Ability to customize Manage login page images and background.

Hi Andrew, the ability to get a message that needs to be confirmed to indicate that the user is aware in which environment he/she is working is definitely not sufficient as explained in some of the comments below. If the user is working in different environments during the day, either in different tabs or browser versions, it must be easy to distinguish them from each other. Many customers experienced the need and implemented that by using different color scheme's, see screenshots in the comment below (May 5th, 2023).o

So the proposed solution to have a message/pop-up at login is no solution for the described problem. So please reconsider the proposed solution. Looking at the number of votes, this is a topic that has high priority.

Thanks for the Idea, has some simularity with https://ibm-ai-apps.ideas.ibm.com/ideas/CONFIG-I-16.

But Andrew a warning when logging in is nice. But once logged in you can't see the difference with non production evironment. Or the differences between the non production environments. Development, Test, Acceptance. (OTAP).

Thanks for your feedback.

I acknowledge the broader white labelling requirement discussed above. This is something we want to get to, but there is more significant work required to deliver that consistently across the platform. We will get there, but it will take longer than just the next release.

Andrew,

I think the notification on login that you describe could be useful. However, I think the OP was looking for branding options.

As far as my own previous comment, the notification you describe will help at login, but for power users who may have several browser tabs open to different environments, the login notification will have long since been dismissed, and they'll be back to looking at the URL to (hopefully) be able to recognize which environment they are in instead of having it in their face on every app's title bar (except in Prod).

Hello,

I am more interested in a genreal approach to modify login.jsp and other white labelling, as before.

At the moment, we have the ability to adapt the whole titlebar.jsp, as well.

This is done, in order to customize the logo (right next to the logout button) and additionally add custom wiki links (between username and bulletin board button) and visualize the system (Dev, Test, Prod), the user is located in.

Would be great hearing thoughts on those kinds of customizations (our uses are used to, right now).

Kind regards,

Christian Kuknat

Hi - We are planning some work for our next release that I think will address this Idea.

We are planning to introduce the option for a MAS admin to configure and enable a system notification message that would be displayed to users before granting them access to the system. The notification would be retained on the screen and prevent further user action until the user acknowledges the message.

If you agree this would address your requirements, then I can link this Idea to the planned work and track it to delivery.

I look forward to your feedback.

It is common, for non-prod, to indicate which environment the user is signing in to, advise when the environment was last refreshed from Prod, and warn that data entered in this environment will be lost. It is a deep concern that some user will go back to the training environment after their training and do some work and think they did well -- only to have to completely redo the work because the training environment gets refreshed nightly.
