Styling the Login Page

Use the Login Page tab to configure the Neurons for ITSM login page. The same login page is displayed for all roles and user interfaces.

For Cloud: The customizations to the login page are saved in the tenant that you are configuring. Use the URL that is configured for the Tenant record in the ConfigDB in order to access the login page

For On-Premise: The application will select which customizations to displayed based on the address used in the browser. For the customizations to be correctly displayed, you must use the URL that is configured in the ConfigDB in order to access the customized login page

Adding a Background Image to the Login Page

When you fill a background using an imported image, Neurons for ITSM anchors the image at the upper left corner and either repeats the image to fill the background or crops the image to fit the background.

When using a small image, such as a logo, you expect the background to be repeated, so the login page should look OK regardless of its background size.

When using a large image, such as a landscape, you want the image to fill the background of the login page without repeats or excessive cropping.

In the table below, we show the background image size of the Neurons for ITSM login pages in a maximized browser window on two common monitor resolutions, without any cropping or repeating of the image.

Layout 1680 x 1050 Monitor 1920 x 1080 Monitor
Legacy 1680 x 871 pixels 1920 x 901 pixels
Others 1680 x 991 pixels 1920 x 1021 pixels
