Custom Login Screen in Perspective

Ignition
,

Hello,
Is it possible to create a new custom login screen for perspective like how there is a default one now?

If so, can you please tell me about any concepts to study/know before making a login screen

Yes* you can, but it will involve creating your own identity provider (non-trivial)

Thank you Nminchin!
So by creating an IDP in gateway, should we like actually design the login page or by will it come by default

There is an option short of creating your own IDP if you just want to theme it:

I've never made my own, but I presume that the IdP would have the login webpage built into it

Thank you deon! Appreciate it!

jumping in because i have just been tasked with customizing our login screen which means doing this very thing. can you either elaborate or point me to a resource that would help me do that? i have been looking through the docs and haven't found anything much there. we have an Ignition ID provider for the project, but that just give us the standard login:

Ignition_NormalLogin

what i get to do is subtle, but basically add an additional line to the screen:

Ignition_DesiredLogin

it will be expanded on in the future, so i want to lay good groundwork now.

oh snap! THAT kind of ID provider... It's been a minute since i built one of those... I thought this was an internal kind of thing... Can i just modify an existing provider's HTML code? Which, even as i type, sounds insane from a security standpoint... :stuck_out_tongue:

*sigh* I just want to make pretty... :laughing:

If your client/employer already has a company-wide SAML IdP, just point Ignition at it.

AKAIK, we're just using Ignition's provider. The provider isn't what's driving this; it's the ability to change the look of the login screen. Which is tied to the IDP, apparently. Thus the ask about setting up an IDP. I'd really, really rather not do that. I just want to more completely brand the login page.

i hate capitalizing all the time, but i'm trying...thus all the edits.

It's working! Your compiler wouldn't let you away with it. Why should we? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

purposely uncapitalized, just for you. :)

Cobranding is the extent of the customization available in the first party IdP.

fair enough. i do think it a good idea to add an additional line to accommodate service management branding and client branding. but thank you for the authoritative answer. :slight_smile: i will stop digging... for now.
