27.1 Mobile Client Rebranding

This section includes the following information:

27.1.1 Modifying the Image Resources for the Mobile Clients

The NetIQ Cloud Manager documentation Web site has some templates of image resources that you can download and use to customize your own rebranded images. You need to ensure the following:

  • When a graphic designer creates the new brand images, the image size, format, and filename must remain the same. The image resources can help the designer maintain these criteria.

  • When you are finished customizing the images to match your own branding, upload them to the Cloud Manager Application Server.

The mobile device automatically detects the presence of the new images and rebrands itself on launch.

27.1.2 Setting Up Automatic Rebranding for the Mobile Clients

The Cloud Manager installation configuration automatically configures the Cloud Manager Application Server to serve up files from /var/opt/netiq/cloudmanager/webres and /var/opt/netiq/cloudmanager/webres/mobile.

Use the following steps to finish the setup of the rebranding feature after the initial Cloud Manager Application Server installation:

  1. Copy the proprietary images you want to use to rebrand the mobile clients to /var/opt/netiq/cloudmanager/webres/mobile.

  2. Restart Cloud Manager services (making sure to clear the cache) using the following command:

    /etc/init.d/netiq-cloudmanager reload

  3. Make sure you can access one of the rebranded files via a Web browser. For example, login.png:

    https://<server>:8183/resources/mobile/login.png

    NOTE:When you reference Cloud Manager files from a browser, the files must be referenced explicitly. For example, if you have a file called acme.png in a webres/mobile folder (/var/opt/netiq/cloudmanager/webres/mobile/acme.png), you cannot see it in a folder listing. For example, the following does not work:

    http://<server_name>:<port>/resources/mobile

    Instead, you need to access the file directly:

    http://<server_name>:<port>/resources/mobile/acme.png
