Introduction : Some customer would like to change the Aruba brand logo and have their company or organization brand logo. This article explains us on how to achieve that.
Feature Notes : NOTE : Customer would be having to re-patch every time they upgrade since the logo is part of the branding built-in. So it is up to customer if they want to go through the exercise with every upgrade.
Environment : Customer wanting to replace the Aruba logo with their brand name.
Answer :
Airwave has the LOGIN Screen logo and the TOP Left logo. Below are the steps to change them:
Login Screen Logo:
This logo is at the below path:
/root/svn/mercury/lib/noauth/theme/airwave/login-logo.gif
Need to replace the "login-logo.gif" with the file/image that we want to have. But make sure the name of the file remains the same as "login-logo.gif".
TOP Left Logo:
This logo is at the below path:
/root/svn/mercury/lib/html/images/theme/airwave/title.png
Need to replace the "title.png" with the file/image that we want to have.
After making the changes, we need to recompile the code for the changes to be applied.
Run make to apply the changes:
# root; make
Verification : Once the code recompilation is over, we need to wait till the services are up.
Then try to login to the WEB UI and we should see the new logo in the login screen and after we are authenticated, we should see the logo in the top left of the screen.
Troubleshooting :
1) Make sure the new logos are kept in the right drectory "/root/svn/mercury/lib/noauth/theme/airwave/"
2) Make sure the name of the file remains the same as the default one (login-logo.gif)
3) If we still have issue, check the httpd/access_log and make sure the file name is pulled. We should see something like below:
[16/May/2014:00:25:21 -0700] "GET /noauth/theme/airwave/login-logo.gif HTTP/1.1" 200 3256
