Secure Custom Web Application Login

In addition to the recommended REST application support, the product supports two types of traditional Web applications: CSP and >Zen.It is important to follow the recommended protocol when configuring custom login pages that use CSP and Zen.These protocols provide greater security and minimize incompatibilities when upgrading to new products or versions.

AboutCreate a custom CSP login page

Create a custom CSP login page:

1. Create a subclass of the %CSP.Login page.
2. To customize the behavior of your application, override the subclass's Draw method so that the page looks the way you want.These include methods to modify the appearance of the login page and methods to modify the appearance of the security token page (if using two-factor authentication):

• Login page method - DrawCSS3STYLE, DrawHEAD, DrawSTYLE, DrawTitle
• Security Token (ST) page methods - DrawSTHEAD, DrawSTTitle

Note that the DrawTitle and DrawSTTitle methods call the DrawTitleSection method.

1. Call subclasses as needed in the application.

Important: When creating a custom login page, you must use a subclass of %CSP.Login.Other methods of creating login pages in CSP applications can cause various problems.If you write a custom login page that does not use the %CSP.Login subclass, and you apply any changes from upgrading or securing the instance, the login page may fail without an error message.For example, a user might try to log in with a valid username and password, but their login will fail for no apparent reason.This situation may indicate that the custom login needs to be changed to use the desired method.
