Configure Banners, Message of the Day, and Logos
A
login banner
is optional text
that you can add to the login page so that administrators will see
information they must know before they log in. For example, you
could add a message to notify users of restrictions on unauthorized
use of the firewall.You can add colored bands that highlight
overlaid text across the top (
header banner
) and bottom
(footer banner
) of the web interface to ensure administrators
see critical information, such as the classification level for firewall
administration.A
message of the day
dialog automatically
displays after you log in. The dialog displays messages that Palo Alto
Networks embeds to highlight important information associated with
a software or content release. You can also add one custom message
to ensure administrators see information, such as an impending system
restart, that might affect their tasks.You can replace the
default logos that appear on the login page and in the header of
the web interface with the logos of your organization.
