Customize Wingate logon page with images.

Hi,

Is anyone has any idea that the wingate logon page can be customized with images?

Thanks.

You are referring to the WinGate Java login page? If so, the page is in "C:\Program Files\WinGate\Java" (Or Java off wherever you installed WinGate). It is called "CLIENT.HTM".

You can edit it with any HTML editor and add images. Note though that those images will need to be served back to the client as per any normal web request so it is possible you might need to modify some policies (To allow those images through without an authenticated session) and you might need to setup a secondary proxy to act as a webserver. (In which case the policy changes might not be necessary)

Hi Pascal, thanks for your prompt replied, exactly the CLIENT.HTM file I'm working on, can you further ellaborate the policies that I should modify?

Well, here's the deal.

If you are serving the CLIENT.HTM page back it is because the client has made a web request. Any other web requests, such as for the embedded images will also need to be served. So, depending on where you are hosting those images you will need to setup policies (WWW Proxy Service, Advanced Policies with Filters and Criterion) to allow the serving of those requests without requiring authentication.

However, WinGate can function as a webserver. This means you can create a second web proxy, requiring no authentication, but which serves the request back to the client. Then you can host the images on your own server, keep the request on the local LAN and as you don't need authentication there it should just be served back normally. (Of course, the html tags would look a bit different, directing to a non standard port of course)

Hi Pascal,

Thanks pal, it works perfectly.

Great to hear. Which of the two options did you pick in the end? (Makes it easier for other customers who might want to do the same)
