ALERT! AppLogic 2.1/2.2 Documentation The latest production release is AppLogic 2.9.9

Configuring OEM Settings (GUI Branding)

AppLogic supports the ability to customize the appearance and selected elements of the AppLogic GUI. This includes:

  • specification of the logo displayed when a user logs into the AppLogic GUI
  • replacement of links available from the grid dashboard support page

The OEM Settings are contained within an OEM kit that is installed as part of the initial grid setup. The OEM kit consists of the following entities:

  • oem.conf : OEM configuration file. The format of which is specified below.
  • banner.png or banner.gif: (optional) Dashboard logo to be displayed.

To install the OEM kit so that it is accessible by aldo, create a directory within the release directory on the distribution server named oem_kit and place the OEM kit files described above into the directory. When aldo is run to install a grid, it will automatically pick up and install the OEM kit to the grid.

oem.conf Syntax

The following is a sample oem.conf file. 

oem
   {
   link terms: url="http://www.3tera.com/terms_of_use.html"
   link help : url="http://doc.3tera.net/bin/applogic23_help"

   tab dashboard
      {
      link logo  : url="http://www.3tera.com/applogic.html"
      link banner : url="http://www.mywebsite.com/index.html"
      }

   tab support
      {
      link doc   : icon=docs, label="Product Documentation", url="http://doc.3tera.net/AppLogic23/"
      link gridU : icon=uni, label="Grid University", url="http://www.3tera.com/Grid-Computing-University/"
      link forum : icon=chat, label="Support" ,  url="http://support.3tera.net"
      link web   : icon=globe, label="3Tera Website", url="http://www.3tera.com"
      }
   }
