5 Customizing Logos

This chapter describes how to add your own corporate logo or that of your customers or partners to your Oracle Identity Manager Administrative and User Console. You do this by copying a logo file into the EAR file, and editing the relevant values in the xlDefaultAdmin.properties file. This enables you to brand the appearance of the solution you are providing to your customers, or apply the branding that your partners may require if they want their own logos displayed.

Figure 5-1 shows the default logo that appears on the Oracle Identity Manager Administrative and User Console login page.

In that section, set the property global.image.clientlogo to the full path and name of the image file that contains the desired logo, for example, /images/mycorporate_logo.gif.
