I have a requirement to very lightly customise the ARIS Connect (97.1.0.0) login screen for a client that has just implemented the LDAP interface for user management. As such, all ARIS users now use their domain user and password, sychronsied with ARIS Connect via LDAP. The requirement is a light customisation to add a temporary note to the login screen of the Connect Portal to inform users that they now need to use their domain credentials to access the system.
I am aware that direct customisations such as this are not always recommended (or it is recommended to go via Software AG's ARIS consulting team) becuase there are implications for any customisations made in the case of adopting a release upgrade, but I don't believe this will be a problem for us as this is only a temporary solution (we will look to implement SSO in the near future, now that we have LDAP in place).
I have had a look for the correct configuration xml and / or html files to modify, but haven't found them yet. I wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction and let me know a) if they have performed similar customisations and b) which files need to be modified in order to add a simple note to the login screen of ARIS Connect.
Many Thanks!
Ben

Dear Ben,
I have in use only a quick-and-dirty hack for a mailto URL to contact the admin on top of the portal page of Connect:
1) Add mail link in line 27
.\server\bin\work\work_copernicus_m\base\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\config\classic\views\error403.xml
<!-- #HACK_mailto - adding a mailto link -->
<layout xsi:type="template">
<property name="height" value="10"/>
<property name="top" value="40"/>
<property name="template">
<![CDATA[
<div style="background-color: #C6B6D6; color: white; font-weight: bold">
► If you have specific requirements, please contact <a href="mailto:myARIS9@softwareag.com?subject=I need help on myARIS9!" target="_new">myARIS9</a> ◄ </div>
]]>
</property>
</layout>
2) Replace line 39
<!-- #HACK_mailto - Changed from 40 to 50 -->
<property name="top" value="50"/>
Please note that the hacked files will be overwritten by the next update!
To preserve changes, you would need to copy the Connect configuration (e.g. copy folder "classic" to "classicHacked").
Cheers
