Aug 28, 2007Custom logon field and RSA
I used WebDAV to add a new field to the logon page, called "desired_master_grp". I did this by saving the logon page, modifying the HTML source, and uploading that via WebDEV as "index.htm". This works fine -- the "desired_master_grp" value is passed into FirePass and it is used via dynamic master group mapping to select the master group.
The problem is that if the first password is invalid, or if the user needs to set their RSA PIN, etc, the resulting page is internally generated and no longer contains my extra "desired_master_grp" field. I'm trying to find a solution to this:
1) Is there another method (besides WebDAV) to add a new field to every page -- logon page, password failed page, PIN creation page, etc?
2) is there a way via WebDAV to add this field to those other pages?
3) Is there some other way the end-user can select their desired master group from a list-box before logon?

What about User Management -> Global Settings -> "Display extra input field at logon for user defined session variable" - Kirk_Bauer_1018

That is the kind of alternative I was looking for and that is just what I wanted, thanks! - matt_64003

This isn't as nice as having a dropdown menu though. I believe creating logon.failed.inc, logon.denied.inc and logout.inc files in /sandbox will allow you to correctly handle logon failures when using a custom logon page. - Kirk_Bauer_1018

Actually, at least in 6.0.2 you can specify a set of values for that extra logon field and it makes it a very nice option. Also the WebDAV includes, unfortunately, don't seem that they would apply on the RSA PIN creation page (when using RSA SecurID) but the extra logon field does work. - matt_64003

So is 6.0.2 available now? The latest I see on the download page is 6.0.1. - Kirk_Bauer_1018
