How to customize the login background image

Per anders Wicklund

All,

Very simple question... today I was working with an ALM installation - 17.0.1P1/Windows - with a client, but they would prefer a company branded image at the login-screen presented once ALM Client Launcher starts the application window and queries for credentials (also when using webadmin).

There is a topic here, about one year old, addressing this query (referring to KM000015671) but first of all, it is pertinent to ALM 15, so paths are odd, and secondary... even though I locate the deplyment directory in my installation, which has some different path... it still refuses to work, even though I have tried basically any image size from 1280 x 1080 down to 128 x 128 - no matter what I get the standard splash-screen.

Anyone who has got this to work on 17.0.1 ? If so.... how?

Any ideas?

Kind regards,
Per

    Hi ,

    That's quite easy. Create an almost squared pic, rename it to login-bg-cust.jpg and copy it into the following folder:

    Client Login: <ALM-Deployment>\webapps\qcbin\images

    No restart or redeploy needed. Works instantly.

    For the Site admin and Web login I'm not sure, because I always use the customization way via <ALM-Deployment>\application\20qcbin.war\...

    Thank you....  yes... the first part is all per the manual (even though the manual needs some updates on pathnames), but for some reason I have only got the very simple 128 x 128 image to appear once or twice - all other times it returns the standard screen.

    and still:

    I located a total of four jpg files of 279 KB - including E:\QC1701P1\ALM\application\20qcbin.war\webadmin\static\img\login-bg.a5838c0b.jpg  - which contained the regular login image.

    Replacing all those 4 occurrences by my new image, "webadmin" now returned the new image.

    However, a regular ALM login via client launcher in 19 cases out of 20 (approximately) returns the standard image - and I can't see any 'system' in what makes it work every once in a while.

    Any ideas - or time for a support ticket?
    The random behaviour is definitely a 'no-go' for a client production installation.
