Custom login screen for Zimbra

I want to customize the login screen of the webmail client?
The Login screen says Username (instead of email address) and some users get confused about this and complain about login failures because they don't enter their full email address to associate with a domain. My server is hosting more than one domain. :confused:

Also is it possible to add a company logo on the login screen and the main web mail screen? How can I do it? I do not exactly want to remove the Zimbra logo but I want to add something that will say something about my site. Is there a file that I need to hack to do this?

Also is there a way of passing parameters to Zimbra through http so that I can bypass the defacto Zimbra login screen?

I am using ZCS 4.5.3 Network Edition.

Every caption you see on the login screen comes from a file that has all messages listed in it. It is somewhere in /opt/zimbra/tomcat/zimbra/. What you should do is find a more or less unique phrase from that login screen and run

Code:

---

grep "your phrase" /opt/zimbra/tomcat/zimbra/* -R

---

You will get a couple of files that hold that phrase. One of them will be the one that controls all the text in the entire web client. So you simply modify that file and get you need.

Good luck

I'm not sure this is the best way to do, but that is what I did.
Modified '/opt/zimbra/tomcat/webapps/zimbra/skins/_base/logos/LoginBanner.png'

Note unless you are using the Network Edition, you must NOT alter this file, it's part of the license and condition of using the opensource version! The zimbra logo must remain, unaltered, on the login page, and the web interface. You can change the position of the logo with regards to the skin, but it must remain visible as is.

Of course, Zimbra logo and all other info are clearly displayed. I just add our info, so clients who login won’t confuse. I'm proud to show that we are using Zimbra.

Anyway, thanks for your reminder dijichi2!

Hi

I changed the image at "/opt/zimbra/tomcat/webapps/zimbra/skins/_base/logos/LoginBanner.png but" found that I cannot see any image now while logging to Zimbra. Even for the new image, I used the same name.

I also restarted tomcat and zimbra services too.

Is there anything else I have to do?

Thanks in advance

Try to put original image back and see you got it back. Then problem will be format of your new image. If not, you might have some other problem. I didn't need to restart any services. Put new image and just refresh the browser. That's all I did. I edit my image with GIMP.

Hope that will help,

It's mainly in:
/opt/zimbra/tomcat/webapps/zimbra/WEB-INF/classes/msgs/ZmMsg.properties

ZhMsg.properties would be html client obviously

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I did it. But, I lost the original image too. Even the image I tried to use was in .PNG format of the same size. Can anyone know what the problem could be? How to resolve it?

Thanks

You may want to check the permisions of the new file you created. Also ownership of the files. Did you create or copy the file while logged in as root?
