“I'm using the mrc Web/Servlet Security technique (mrcSignon.html and mrcSignon.xml) to protect my web applications.

The authentication works great, but my Sign-On page doesn't pick up the header and footer in the data dictionary directory that my applications use. Instead, it's picking up the originals.

I want a consistent look and feel. How can I change the Sign-On page to pickup the header and footer my applications use? ”

This is a simple change to a couple of lines of HTML in the mrcSignon.html. Open the mrcSignon.html using any HTML editor you wish, such as notepad.exe, or you can update it directly on the IFS.


To use a different header file change the following line:

From:
<!-- insert user_file="mrc_servlet_head.html" here -->

To:
<!-- insert user_file="your-dictionary/mrc_servlet_head.html" here -->


To use a different footer file change the following line:

From:
<!-- insert user_file="mrc_servlet_foot.html" here -->

To:
<!-- insert user_file="your-dictionary/mrc_servlet_foot.html" here -->

Note: Where your-dictionary is the mrc data dictionary name. And, if you're using your own header or footer you need to change that as well.
