SonicOS 5.8.1 Administrator Guide
Customize Login Pages
SonicOS now provides the ability to customize the text of the login authentication pages that
are presented to users. Administrators can translate the login-related pages with their own
wording and apply the changes so that they take effect without rebooting.
Although the entire SonicOS interface is available in different languages, sometimes the
administrator does not want to change the entire UI language to a specific local language.
However, if the firewall requires authentication before users can access other networks, or
enables external access services (e.g. VPN, SSL-VPN), those login related pages usually
should be localized to make them more usable for typical users.
The Customizable Login Page feature provides the following functionality:
Keeps the style of original login by default
Allows administrators to customize login related pages
Allows administrators to use the default login related pages as templates
Allows administrators to save customized pages into system preferences
Allows administrators to preview their changes before saving to preferences
