Introduction
While the Rights Manager Logon Customization pages lets you change the logo and some text on the
standard Logon page, the basic page layout is predefined. Further, you cannot change the standard
Logoff or Guest Registration pages through the Logon Customization feature. Custom templates allow
you to create pages that meet your individual needs.
The HP ProCurve Secure Access 700wl Series system includes a template library that supports the
programmatic generation of output (HTML files). It is this capability that you can use to create
customized page templates. A template or tmpl file contains the desired output (HTML) interspersed
with various tmpl functions that perform operations within the Rights Manager as well as other useful
functions such as control flow. Tmpl functions take zero or more arguments, where each argument can be
a double-quoted string or a nested tmpl function. Each invocation of a tmpl function is replaced in the file
output by the value returned by that function.
Once you have created your template file, you enter its name into the appropriate field under the Custom
Templates tab of the New or Edit Logon Customization page. The Rights Manager will then use your
template instead of the standard Logon, Logoff, Stop or Guest Registration page. The Rights Manager
parses and executes the tmpl file to generate HTML output that is displayed. See
“Logon Page
Customization” on page 5-30 for details of how to upload a custom template.
The 700wl Series template library defines many useful functions, such as flow control and other useful
utilities, and a number of system-specific functions that implement HP system functionality useful in a
Logon, Logoff or Registration page.
