  • Openbravo 3 Demo Login Page

Configuring the Environment

As already mentioned, a few more steps are needed:

• In openbravo.properties:

authentication.class=org.openbravo.demo.loginpage.authentication.DemoAuthenticationManager

• In modules/org.openbravo.demo.loginpage/src/org/openbravo/demo/loginpage/security:

Exchange the revision number "revisionControl('14275')" with the number set in the getCurrentRevision() method in utils.js

Once done, you will see that the login page has changed. You can use this module as the base for your development and customize the Login.html as you want.
