Customization Required on the NetScaler Gateway Logon Page

To update the Access Gateway Logon page, complete the following steps:

1. Log on to the NetScaler appliance or the NetScaler VPX instance on which the Symphony theme is applied using a file browsing utility such as WinSCP or FileZilla.

2. Copy the index.html file from the /netscaler/ns_gui/vpn directory and the en.xml file from the /netscaler/ns_gui/vpn/resources directory to a computer.

3. Open the index.html using a text editor, such as Notepad.

4. Search for the text, “ns_showpwd”.

   </tr>
   <SCRIPT language=JavaScript>ns_showpwd();</SCRIPT>
   </tr>
   
   

5. Copy the following text and add after the line having ns_showpwd:

   <TR>
   <TD align=right><SPAN id="Domain" class="CTXMSAM_LogonFont" style="padding-right:10px;"></SPAN></TD>
   <TD><select name="domainvalue" size="1" style="width: 100px;"> <option value="Domain1">Domain1</option> <option value="Domain2">Domain2</option> </select> </TD>
   </TR>
   <SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
     function getCookie(name) { // use: getCookie("name");
       var re = new RegExp(name + "=([^;]+)");
       var value = re.exec(document.cookie);
       return (value != null) ? unescape(value[1]) : null;
     }
   
     var today = new Date();
     var expiry = new Date(today.getTime() + 28 * 24 * 3600 * 1000); // plus 28 days
     var expired = new Date(today.getTime() - 24 * 3600 * 1000); // less 24 hours
   
     function setCookie(name, value) { // use: setCookie("name", value);
       document.cookie=name + "=" + escape(value) + "; path=/; expires=" + expiry.toGMTString();
     }
   
     function storeValues(form) {
       setCookie("domainvalue", form.domainvalue.value);
       return true;
     }
   </SCRIPT>
   
   

6. Update the domain values that are in boldface in the preceding code snippet and enter the domain values that you want in the drop-down menu. In the preceding sample code snippet, Domain1 and Domain2 are the two options that can be selected for Domain from the NetScaler Gateway logon page.

7. Save the index.html file and copy the file to /netscaler/ns_gui/vpn directory on the NetScaler appliance or NetScaler VPX instance.

8. Open the en.xml file using a text editor, such as Notepad.

9. Search for the following string, “User_name”.

10. Update the string that is in boldface in the following code snippet:

    <String id="User_name">User&amp;nbsp;name:</String>
        <String id="Domain">Domain:</String>^M
    <Property id="Enter user name" property="title">Enter user name</Property>
    
    

11. Save the en.xml file and copy the file to /netscaler/ns_gui/vpn/resources directory on the NetScaler appliance or NetScaler VPX instance.

12. Refresh the NetScaler Gateway logon page.

NetScaler Configuration

Update the authentication policy associated with the respective domains to use the expressions “REQ.HTTP.HEADER Cookie CONTAINS Domain1” and “REQ.HTTP.HEADER Cookie CONTAINS Domain2” and bind them to the respective authentication profiles.

If the HTTP Header cookie contains Domain1, then the username and password entered is sent to the LDAP profile associated with Domain1 and authenticated if correct. Similarly, if the HTTP Header cookie contains Domain2, then the username and password entered is sent to the LDAP profile associated with Domain2.

Bind both the authentication policies to the Access Gateway virtual server and prioritize them according to your requirements.
