BigFix Console Warning notice at login time

I’m looking to create a warning message just after a user has entered User Name and Password and clicked Login button on to the BigFix Console.

You know, a place for a message like:

WARNING, YOU HAE ENTERED THE SITE OF A GRUMPY DWARF ARE YOU REALLY SURE YOU WANT TO CONTINUE…

Thanks,
Bob_K

Yes there is a login warning banner. See https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSPMR3_9.2.0/com.ibm.tivoli.tem.doc_9.2/Platform/Adm/c_list_of_advanced_options.html (or the 9.5 version) and look for “loginWarningBanner”

@AlanM you may have answered Bob’s question, but I think now you need to commit 110% and file an internal request to change the example on that web page.

Old (baaaaaad):

./BESAdmin.sh -setadvancedoptions -sitePvkLocation=/root/backup/license.pvk 
-sitePvkPassword=pippo000 -update loginWarningBanner='new message'

New (goooood):

./BESAdmin.sh -setadvancedoptions -sitePvkLocation=/root/backup/license.pvk 
-sitePvkPassword=pippo000 -update loginWarningBanner='WARNING, YOU HAVE ENTERED THE SITE OF A GRUMPY DWARF ARE YOU REALLY SURE YOU WANT TO CONTINUE...'
