I am not sure if there is a way to use your previous .jsp file. I tried to use mine, but it used whatever the upgrade created for the default login page.

The Scalix 10 admin_resource_kit includes instructions how to customize the login page, but they are a little incomplete. One of the key things that was missed in the instructions was to edit the opt/scalix-tomcat/webapps/webmail/WEB-INF/web.xml file.

Here are the steps I took to customize my page (thanks to some great feedback on these forums):

1) Edit the Default.html page included with the admin_resource_kit and rename it to index.html
2) Copy it to /opt/scalix-tomcat/webapps/webmail/index.html
3) Edit the section marked <welcome-file-list> of the web.xml file located in /opt/scalix-tomcat/webapps/webmail/WEB-INF/

Edit this section so it reads this way:

<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>index.html</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.htm</welcome-file>
<welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>

4) Save your changes
5) Restart the "scalix-tomcat" service

Your custom page will load in place of the default page you saw after you upgraded to version 10.

GOOD LUCK!
