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”
