Custom login theme and templates for cas 5.2.2

[Matthew Hannay]

Is there some more complete documentation on how to build your own

login screen and make that the default in CAS........

I have found some info but it seems a bit light on and more complete guides are for prior versions?

The documentation talks about modifying or making custom login-webflow but no indication on where it shoulld be put or if I should 

modify the one in the downloaded template( I thought this would be bad!!)

I will continue to just try things like creating my own src/main/resources/webflow/login/login-webflow.xml

but it no substitution for a clear howto

If nothing exits I will write and contribute back .......

I suppose I need to really understand how maven overlays work!!

Hi Matt,

About "building your own login screen", and making it "the default in CAS", I think a better approach will be to use "theme" as specified here:
https://apereo.github.io/cas/5.2.x/installation/User-Interface-Customization-Themes.html

This might help you about the theme edit: https://groups.google.com/a/apereo.org/forum/#!topic/cas-user/k-yfoou7Zy0

Using login-webflow.xml to create another login view, you would need to change a lot of stuff, which will be pretty difficult and future CAS build might break your login-webflow.xml. Modifying login-webflow just for that, seems not a very CAS way to handle login screen modification.

Maybe you can try using theme first, before diving into login-webflow.xml if theme does not suit your needs.

Cheers!

Just 1 thing is not 100% clear

Do I copy all of

overlays/org...cas-server-webapp-tomcat-5.2.2/WEB-INF/classes/templates

to 

scr/main/resources/templates

and then create 

scr/main/resources/templates/mytemplate/casLoginView.html 

(I want this on to look different to the supplied)

or just copy all of the templates and modify as required 

--Matt

[Matthew Hannay]

so I create

src/main/resources/templates/mytemplate/casLoginView.html

And I get the desired result. The custom page I am after.

Just copy the page / resources you want to modify.

This way, it is also easier for you to compare if you want to upgrade to a newer version of CAS.
