Customizing the Web Interface logo image
The Web Interface allows the administrator to customize the branding for the Web Interface sites by changing parts of the logo image that appears at the top of the Web Interface screen. The default parts of the logo image can be replaced by custom images, such as a company logo or a product logo. Separate images are used to identify the company and the product. The administrator can specify the desired image by selecting an appropriate graphic file. The supported file formats are JPEG (with .jpg or .jpeg extensions), GIF and PNG.
It is also possible to customize the hyperlinks on the parts of the logo image. Separate hyperlinks are available on the company logo and the product logo. Thus, the hyperlink on the company logo could be configured to navigate to the corporate Web site whereas the hyperlink on the product logo could open a custom page with instructions on how to use the product.

Customizing the Web Interface site icon
The Web Interface has the default site icon, and provides a means to change the site icon. A site icon, also called shortcut icon or favicon, is a small image that is associated with a particular Web Interface site. You can change the site icon for each site separately.
When you open a Web Interface site in your Web browser, the site icon appears in the browser’s address bar. The site icon also appears on the History and Favorites lists, making it easier to identify the site. In addition, the site icon helps identify and differentiate the site on the Windows taskbar.
TIP: The site icon must be in ICO format, square sized, and at least 16x16 pixels. One Identity recommends using ICO files that contain the site icon image in several sizes (16x16, 32x32, and 64x64), so that Windows can use a proper resolution icon for every possible user interface scenario, including the browser address bar, the taskbar and for larger icon image settings in Windows.
To change the Web Interface site icon
-
Open the Web Interface site in your web browser by clicking Customization on the Navigation bar, then clicking Global Settings.
-
In the Web Interface site icon area, click Change and supply the ICO file containing the desired icon.
-
Click Save, and then click Reload for the changes to take effect.
You can revert to the default icon by clicking Restore Default in the Web Interface site icon area. To apply your changes, click Save, then click Reload.
Customizing the user name to show on the Web Interface
By default, Active Roles Web Interface displays the name of the logged-in user in the area above the Navigation bar, retrieving that name from the Display Name property of the user account in Active Directory. If the Display Name property of the user is empty, the Web Interface retrieves the value of the user's Name property.
However, this behavior may not be acceptable for every situation. For example, if a user has two accounts (a regular account and an admin account providing elevated privileges) with the same Display Name property, the user may be unable to specify which account was used for login. To cover such cases, the Web Interface supports showing properties other than the Display Name for the logged in user.
To select a user property to show for the logged in user on the Web Interface
-
Open the Web Interface site in your web browser. To do so, click Customization on the Navigation bar, then click Global Settings.
-
Under Logged-on user name format, click the Change button, and then select the user property you want.
-
Click Save, and then click Reload for the changes to take effect.
TIP: To identify which property is currently used for the presentation of the Web Interface user, point to the user name under Logged-on user name format and review the tooltip that appears. Thus, under default conditions, the tooltip reads as follows:
The 'Display Name' property is used as the name of the logged-on user in the Web Interface. Click 'Change' to use a different property.
Customizing the Web Interface Navigation bar
The left area on Web Interface pages, referred to as the Navigation bar, provides menu items for navigating between Web Interface sections. By default, it includes a number of top-level menu items. Expanding a top-level item on the Navigation bar may display subordinate items. In this section, the collection of the items that are subordinate to a given item is referred to as the menu group associated with that item.
You can add, modify, re-arrange, and remove menu items on menu groups and on the Navigation bar. A point-and-click interface helps you manage the menu items and their subordinate items, providing flexible options to customize the Navigation bar.
The changes you make to the Navigation bar affect every user of the Web Interface site. For example, when you remove a menu item, the item is not displayed to any user of the Web Interface site.
