APM Customization Logo

Hello,

I want to customize a logon page for APM with our own Logo, it's diplayed fine in the preview but not on the real Logon Page.

I've read this Article:

https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K42811815

and I checked the File Permissions, I only see the placeholder for the png.

When I inspect the Element in the Browser I get the path:

<img src="/public/images/customization/Common/AP-NVSBT1AP_general_ui/logo_image_de.png">

but the path on the F5 is:

public/images/customization/Common/logo_login_bg.png

any help, where to look, to solve this Problem?

thanks

  • Hi  ,

    are you using Standard or Modern Customization and which BIG-IP version are you on?

    I could successfully change the Header Logo in Access ›› Profiles / Policies : Customization : Quick Start/Basic.

    In my test I was using 15.1.3 and I tried with Standard as well as Modern Customization.

    The naming convention in K42811815 did not make a difference in my tests, I uploaded files named logo_xyz.png but also test_xyz.png.

    I assume you clicked on Apply Access Policy?

    On the filesystem the files are available in /var/sam/www/webtop/public/images/customization/Common/

    [root@bigip01:Active:Standalone] Common # cd /var/sam/www/webtop/public/images/customization/Common/
    [root@bigip01:Active:Standalone] Common # ll
    total 16
    drwxr-xr-x. 2 tomcat webservices 4096 Oct 14 17:53 access_demo01_general_ui
    drwxr-xr-x. 2 tomcat webservices 4096 Oct 14 18:07 access_demo02_general_ui

    -r--r--r--. 1 tomcat webservices 2448 Oct 14 17:52 logo_my_example.png

    Once you go into one of the subfolders (e.g. access_demo01_general_ui) you will see that they contain a symlink to the logo in this folder.

    [root@bigip01:Active:Standalone] Common # cd access_demo01_general_ui/
    [root@bigip01:Active:Standalone] access_demo01_general_ui # ls -hla

    lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root   root          74 Oct 14 17:53 logo_image_en.png -> /var/sam/www/webtop/public/images/customization/Common/logo_my_example.png

    Hope this helps.

    Hi Daniel,

    I'm on v 14.1.4.4

    I realized the Symlink later, yes, I tried it with Quick Start/ Basic as well as with General and the Preview is just fine,

    the files are correct:

    [iv0152@ldb-ara27-rz-01:Active:Standalone] AP-NVSBT1AP_general_ui #

    I want to use the file logo_logon_bg.png

        Hi Daniel,

         

        sorry, had some other other issues, now I'm back on the Problem.

        I read about the Bug ID but I don't understand the workaround...

    If I want to paste the URL of the Logo (SymLink) in a Browser-Window I get "ERR_CONNECTION_RESET"
