Hi all,
Has someone tried to hide the ignition logo or text on window title and windows?
I want to use my own logo and other infomation. Please hint me if you know. Thanks a lot.
You can select the logo of the application in the project settings:
This doesn’t change the login screen though. One solution for this is to design your own login screen. You can do that by creating an auto-login account (with no rights) that takes you to a custom screen, and implement your own screen to switch users and pages.
IA doesn't recommend this as a secure practice. People do it anyway, but it's not a good idea.
Is there a secure method to do this on the way?
We've gotten all kinds of requests, and usually work around it with an auto login account:
- Login from tag readers
- Always show machine status, but require login to change something
- Auto login to a certain page based on hostname or ip
Changing the logo (as the OP mentioned) was only the most simple request we've ever got regarding changing the login method.
I’ve gotten a similar request to implement RFID logins. I was going to implement something similar to what you’re suggesting: default auto-login that takes you to a screen where ‘actual’ logins can occur (since I need to hide the input field).
If there is a better, more secure way then I’d love to know how.

Carl’s 2017 ICC security talk (Steps for Protecting Your Ignition System) explains why it was insecure and some steps we took in 7.9 to make it more secure: https://icc.inductiveautomation.com/archive/videos/2017/sessions
It would be nice if there was a gateway event script that could be called for client connect requests for that project, prior to the login screen. Which could evaluate the connection origin and properties and inject a user session where appropriate. No need for a password to cross the wire and no need to rely on code running in a hijackable client. And for user sources under the gateway’s control, no need to have the password in the script at all.

Thanks all for your advice. Auto login is a solution as far. I got ‘white label ignition’ when I browse the related topics. Is White label ignition a way to solve this matter? Actually I know nothing about ‘white label ignition’. Does anyone know about it?Thanks a lot.
White labeling is typically for OEMs who want to embed or distribute Ignition under their own branding. You'd have to talk to your sales rep for more details.
