Firepass Customization

Hi,

 

 

When you say the F5 documents what are you looking at?

 

Have you looked at the admin guide, here's the link to that section for the version 6.0.3 guide - https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/firepass/manuals/product/firepass_administrator_guide_6_0_3/fp_ag_2_manage_users.html161149

 

 

Otherwise what are you trying to do?

Hi,

 

 

My mission is to recreate the login page and especially the webtop.

 

 

Unfortunately the online help and Administration Guide provides only very limited information on how to proceed and especially no concrete example.

 

 

I am looking for examples or templates.

Webtops are easy, you just build the webtop you need using an HTML editor and wrap the script which is at

 

http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/defau...tmlWebdav at the top of your page, and the at the bottom.

 

 

Then check / update the resource links on your webtop are correct and upload the page to a folder in the sandbox using webdav. Then go to Portal Access : Web Applications : Intranet Webtops in the FirePass admin to insert the URL which points to your webtop page into that resource group settings, for example https://portal.mycompany.co.uk/sand...ebtop2.htm

 

 

Custom login pages are more difficult, it's not too hard to do some customisation through adding .inc files to the sandbox, for example right.inc and links.inc and again these files are just HTML commands. So although you can change screen colours and graphics on the screen and put some other text and graphics in through the .inc files you are stuck with the basic page layout and the logon box.

 

 

I'm trying to get my head around what can be done with producing your own login page (which would be named index.htm in the sandbox) but the problem that I read is it may break things like the pre-logon processing.

 

 

If you want any more information then I could email examples to you.

 

 

Regards,

Thank you very much ^^

 

 

Hi Kevin,

 

 

Thanks for the post.

 

 

We are using a custom index.htm file and several .inc files in the sandbox to handle the various redirections ( i.e. logon.failed.inc - when wrong credentials are entered) which seem work well.

 

 

At the moment the user is redirected to an internal webtop using the "Portal Access : Web Applications : Intranet Webtops" method, the issue with that all users within the MG will end up on the same webtop. We would like to add more granularity to this process by tying a RG to a custom webtop (i.e RG1 <=> Webtop1; RG2 <=> Webtop2; RG3 <=> Webtop3 …etc.)

 

 

I am trying to automatically launch a custom webtop based on the resource group rather than the master group to restrict users access - do you know if there is any way to auto-launch a custom webtop besides the "Portal Access : Web Applications : Intranet Webtops" method. Is it possible to autolaunch a webtop from within /sandbox/index.htm?

 

 

 

Any info or suggestion would be of great help.

 

 

Thanks in advance.

Claud,

 

 

How are you assigning people into RGs? - what defines the user to go into one RG rather than another?

 

 

It's possible to define variables (in Users | Session variables) which can be used to insert different webtop values into the webtop URL definitions which you enter as you say at Portal access | Web applications | Intranet webtops. So rather than type a fixed uRL at that screen, you type the name of a session variable which has been set to contain the value yoy want for that group of users.

 

 

I hope that makes sense!
