NimbostratusFirepass login page customization
Hi,
I have been asked to customize the login page of the firepass unit to integrate it with a mobile based two factor authentication system.
To do this , i have taken the following steps:
1. Created a web service(http) on ip address of 192.168.1.50(Port1 ip address).
2. Enabled , "Allow insecure access", in User Security.
3. Enabled , "WebDav Customization" from DeviceManagment-customization.
Now , when i try accessing the sandbox, using the url , "http://198.162.150/sandbox and enter the username and password(Username-webdav) , i get to the page , where it shows a link called , "Parent Directory".
When i click on the "Parent Directory", i get an error msg , which says "HTTP:403 Access Forbidden".
Now as far as i my knowledge goes , i need to access the files in the parent directory and to modify the login page , i need to replace the contents of the default index.htm page with my own content.
But since i keep getting this error msg , whenever i click on the "Parent Directory" link , i'm not able to proceed any further.
The unit is a Firepass 1200 in standalone mode.
Any help on this issue will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

mal_57091Hi Avik,
How are you connecting to the sandbox? You need to use a WebDAV client. I personally use Bitkinex(http://www.bitkinex.com/webdavclient/) but you can really use any WebDAV client of your choice. I believe once you do this you should be right to go!
Cheers,

avik_bose_1048Hi,
Thanks for the prompt response. I tried using Bitkinex as suggested by you .
But even through Bitkinex , i'm able to log into the parent directory but then when i try viewing the files in the parent directory , the client gets disconnected.
Any further insight into the same will be greatly helpful.

Fuzz_31058You don't need to access the parent directory. Just place your file(s) in the /sandbox directory. index.htm will replace the login page. Keep in mind that if you put a index.htm file in the sandbox directory you will no longer be able to perform "Pre-Logon" checks. If you look at the on-line help you can use .inc files instead of replacing the login page completely. This will give you the best of both as the pre-login checks will still be performed and the .inc files you add will be read using php include functionality. you will simply need to name the .inc files accordingly and place them in the sandbox directory.

Scott_85950Do you have a Firewall between you and your Firepass that may not be allowing you to access the communications on port 80?
