Pre-logon welcome page

When you select Welcome page (where client software supports it), a configurable welcome page is presented to end users prior to the basic authentication dialog box, if their browser supports it. You can specify a single page that is presented for connection requests or different pages for requests using HTTP. The default pages provide three buttons: Log in, Register, and Forgotten your password?

  • Log in: To continue, users click Log in and are presented with the basic authentication dialogue.
  • Register: If the users have not previously registered to use the service, they can do so by clicking Register. This takes them into the registration process. See End Users tab for further details.
  • Forgotten your password?: If users cannot remember their password, they can click Forgotten your password? They are redirected to a web page where they enter their email address. An email is sent containing a link to the cloud service, where they must create a new password before being allowed to continue to authenticate.

As with all notification pages, you can tailor the default to meet your needs and use it to remind your users that they are using company resources that are governed by an acceptable use policy. In addition, you can select the option to display a notice to your users that asks them to agree to accept the terms of your acceptable use policy if they wish to continue browsing. See Acceptable use policy.
