Login Page Customization

Hi,

I'm trying to customize the actual login page that displays at :2082, does anyone know where the error message comes from when you fail to login?

Thanks,
Corey

The pages themselves are controlled by a login theme (stored in /usr/local/cpanel/base/unprotected/cpanel). The error messages themselves are hard-coded into cPanel/WHM as far as I can tell.

To create your own login theme, just copy /usr/local/cpanel/base/unprotected/cpanel to another directory in /usr/local/cpanel/base/unprotected/ such as /usr/local/cpanel/base/unprotected/myTheme

You can test your login theme before setting it to be the default in Tweak Settings by appending ?login_theme=myTheme to your login URL (where myTheme represents the folder you created and thus the name of your login theme).

Alright.

I find it annoying to have to leave a "space" for messages/error messages within the login theme, but I guess that is what will need to be done.

Thank you for the answers.

I'm discussing this with our integrations lead about this as there are other ramifications as well if this is hard-coded.
