How can I customize the login page for Scalix Web Access?

The Scalix Web Access login page can be customized very easily - however it is important that the original login page is backed up prior to making any changes.

In the ~/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.2x/webapps/webmail directory, the file "index.jsp" contains the Scalix Web Access login page. First back up this file…

  #cp index.jsp index.jsp.bak

At this point you can open the index.jsp with an editor. The actual instructions for how and where to modify the index.jsp are contained in the file itself. It is very important that these instructions are followed precisely. Once the appropriate customization has been made, the index.jsp simply needs to be saved and Tomcat needs to be restarted.

If there are problems accessing the Scalix Login page after modifications have been made, then most likely an area of the index.jsp was modified that shouldn't have been. It is recommended that the original (index.jsp.bak) be copied back over the modified index.jsp and the modifications attempted again.
