The default user portal in Access Manager 4.2 and later is different than the previous one. If you have customized the legacy user portal, you can retain the customized JSP pages. For information about customizing the legacy jsp pages, see Customizing Identity Server in the Access Manager 4.3 Administration Guide.
You must be familiar with customizing JSP files.

To understand the differences between legacy and default pages, see Managing User Portal. To change the simple aspects of the default user portal page, see Branding of the User Portal Page. |
You can use any of the following customization methods based on the requirement:
To customize the page title of the user portal, see Customizing the User Portal Page Title.
To customize only the credentials, you can make most of the modifications in Administration Console. For example, prompt the user for an email address rather than a name. You need to add some properties to a method, create a contract from that method, and modify the prompt in the login_latest.jsp file. For more information, see Customizing the Default Login Page to Prompt for Different Credentials.
If you want to maintain the features of the default web page and use its authentication cards, but you want to remove the NetIQ branding, use Branding on the Administration Console dashboard. By using the Branding page you can modify the colors, images, and the text. For more information, see Branding of the User Portal Page.
To modify the layout or content of the default web page, customize nidp_latest.jsp. For more information, see Customizing JSP Files.
NOTE:After you customize login pages, back up these pages before performing a product upgrade. The upgrade process overrides any changes made to JSP files that use the same filename as those included with the product.
During an upgrade, you can select to restore custom login pages, but it is recommended to take a back up of all customized files.
