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: [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Perspective+Co-Branding](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Perspective+Co-Branding) ---

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

> [@nminchin](#): > > it will involve creating your own identity provider 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](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/b/4/b4f6cc4b550cd90b205d4597e957dbae2b8332b1.png) what i get to do is subtle, but basically add an additional line to the screen: ![Ignition_DesiredLogin](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/f/1/f1883b200ab258309db3d490ac4d5557f3138a0e.png) 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... 😛 _\*sigh_\* I just want to make pretty... 😆 ---

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. ---

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. 🙂 i will stop digging... for now.
