Introduction

This document illustrates how to change the title that appears on the WebVPN login and portal pages. With the use of customizations that can be edited with the web-based Customization Editor, the ASA provides a means to change nearly everything about the look and feel of the WebVPN portal. This configuration is performed with ASDM 6.0(2) on an ASA that runs Software Version 8.0(2).

Prerequisites

This document is part of a set of documents about the configuration of WebVPN on the ASA.

Change the WebVPN Title

  7. Click Save in the upper right corner.

Apply the Customization

It is important to make sure that the customization that you have configured is applied to the correct connection profile (tunnel group) in order for the new title to appear on the login and portal pages. Unless users connect to the ASA with a Group-URL, it is necessary to apply the customization to the DefaultWEBVPNGroup for the new title to appear before login. This table shows where the customization must be applied for a given configuration. The steps after the table show how to configure the customization in the connection profile (tunnel group).

  2. Choose the DefaultWEBVPNGroup (or your desired group), and click Edit.

  3. Choose Advanced > Clientless SSL VPN in the left pane.

  4. Verify that your customization is chosen as the Portal Page Customization.
