An Asset Manager user with superuser privileges can enable a pre-login message that displays a notification provided by your organization. The banner typically serves as a system use warning that only authorized users are allowed to enter and that use of the system is restricted and monitored. However, the banner text is supplied by your organization and therefore can be populated with whatever announcement might be pertinent in your workplace.

Asset Manager users who click Accept will then receive a login prompt. After login, the security warning will not show for the duration of the session.

A banner can be applied to a Command Center, a Portal, or a Scout component individually.  On Portal or Command Center, the security banner can be enabled or disabled from the GUI or the CLI.  On the Scout, the banner can be enabled or disabled only from the CLI. It works in congruence with PKI-encryption and two-factor authentication (TFA).  The security banner is disabled by default and therefore will not display on a standard or upgraded installation of Asset Manager.

Regarding the text you supply, are a few things to know:

• Lines of text will wrap automatically.
• To start a new line, press Enter.
• Use bold type or all caps to simulate a title line.

• Single quotation marks ( ' ) are not supported for adding banner text directly in CLI.

Configuration

To configure via command-line interface (CLI) or system console:

1. Log in using CLI.

2. At the prompt, type system banner text “a single line of banner text enclosed in quotation marks” to manually update.

3. At the prompt, type system banner text file /path/to/file to upload a file.

4. At the prompt, type system banner enable. The new banner text will now be displayed on CLI or UI log in.
