How do I change the look and feel of Client Authentication on HTTP Port 900?



It may be desirable for a variety of reasons to customize these pages with a different look. The HTML files that FireWall-1 uses are located in $FWDIR/conf/ahclientd on the firewall module.

• ahclientd1.html is the first page users are greeted with (i.e., this page prompts users for a username).
• ahclientd2.html is the end-of-session page after a successful authentication.
• ahclientd3.html is the page for signing off.
• ahclientd4.html is the successful-login page where users choose the kind of sign-on or sign-off they desire.
• ahclientd5.html is the Specific Sign-On page.
• ahclientd6.html is the page for authentication failure.
• ahclientd7.html is the page that prompts users for their passwords.
• ahclientd8.html is another page that prompts users for their passwords.

These files contain %s or %d where FireWall-1 inserts information into these pages. Do not delete these symbols because unpredictable results will occur. You certainly can change where they appear, but do not change the order in which they appear. You must also keep the files less than 1,024 bytes in size. Note that if you want to include any graphics, they need to be from a different Web server.

In NG AI and above, do not move existing %s or %d characters in HTML comments. If you do, the default ahclientd page will be used instead.

Is there something similar for User Authentication pop-up message?

I made changes to above html pages. This doesn't get applied until we do a cpstop and cpstart. That makes it obvious that the html pages in use are cached somewhere else, but I can't find them. I have an image file I uploaded to that directory, but I get a missing link icon when I try to connect. Where can I place the image, and what path do I need to put into the html? Better yet, where are the cached files?
