Creating a Fully Customized Universal Login Form
The easiest way to create a fully custom Universal Login Form is by:
1.
Setting up a search appliance to use the Universal Login Form.
2.
Running a secure search to display the default Universal Login Form.
3.
Using your browser’s view source feature to view and save the HTML of the default Universal Login
Form.
4.
Using the HTML of the default Universal Login Form as a starting point for customizing your own
form.
The Universal Login Form HTML must contain HTML form field names that match the system’s
expectations. For example, for a credential group named cg1:
•
The user-name field should be called “ucg1”
•
The password field should be called “pwcg1”
