Apr 09, 2018BIG-IQ UI advisory banner
There are articles on how to add an advisory banner for ssh login in BIG-IQ, but is there a method to configure an advisory banner for the BIG-IQ UI? I am running BIG-IQ 5.4.

- From the UI, just go to System > THIS DEVICE > General Properties.
- In the top right, select Edit. You will be able to add a Custom Login Message in the appropriate section.
For the CLI, follow this procedure:
CLI Custom Message
- Login to BIG-IQ command line using root credentials.
- Use a text editor such as vi, open /config/ssh/ssh_banner file.
- Either paste in the approved banner or manually type in the banner.
- Save the file and exit the text editor.
- Add the sshd-banner by typing in the following command: tmsh modify sys sshd include "Banner /config/ssh/ssh_banner"
- Save the changes: tmsh save sys config
Should the banner ever need to be disabled, use the following procedure.
- Login to BIG-IQ command line using root credentials
- Disable the message banner with the following command: tmsh modify sys sshd include none
- Save the changes: tmsh save sys config
