Customization Basics
Overview: Customization and localization

Overview: Customization and localization

Customization and localization are ways to change the text and the language that users see, and to change
the appearance of the user interface for Access Policy Manager.
About basic, general, and advanced customization

The Customization tool provides three types of customization.
Basic
Basic customization provides a limited set of options intended for quick modification of the objects that
are most commonly displayed to users. It can be used to customize and localize common text labels and
captions for objects. It can also be used to configure the basic look and feel for pages.
General
General customization enables configuration of a few additional objects and provides many more options
for customizing objects, such as:
The size, color, and placement of forms and screens.
The look and feel of objects with more opportunities to replace images.
Text on the screen, including headers and footers.
Messages, including installation and error messages.
Any text or image that can be configured from visual policy editor, can also be configured using the
general customization GUI.
Advanced
Advanced customization provides for any customization that can be effected using Cascading Style
Sheets (CSS) and HTML.
About language choices

The set of languages that are available for use in an access policy is specified in the access profile. When
customizing access profile objects, the accepted languages for the access profile are available for selection.
When customizing resource objects, the languages for all access profiles are also available for selection.
About localization in the generated UI

Access profile objects and resource objects can have different language settings from one another. If it is
available, the language of the user session is selected for use in the UI; otherwise, the default language for
the access profile is selected.
About visual policy editor and general customization similarities

Some access policy items can be customized using either the visual policy editor or the Customization tool.
After changes are made and saved in one (the visual policy editor, for example), updates are available to
view in the other (the Customization tool); the reverse is also true.
14
Message Box customization

It is possible to choose a language and to specify message and link text for the Message Box in either user
interface.
Figure 1: Visual policy editor Message Box customization
Figure 2: General customization for Message Box
How APM generates UI pages

Access profile objects and resource objects (customized independently from an access profile) are the same
in terms of semantics and structure. Each object has a basic group of customization settings. An access
profile, however, has more than one group of customization settings. Customized UI page generation works
similarly, in that the process takes an object, adds customization settings to it, and produces XML. Then,
it adds a UI page template to the XML data to create a UI page.
15
Figure 3: Process for creating a customized UI page
About UI page structure

The UI page structure is always the same when using basic or general customization. It includes three areas:
header, footer, and content.
Figure 4: UI template
Settings (color, font, text, and so on) for the header and footer can be defined in access profile customization.
Settings for the location and alignment of the content area can also be defined in access profile customization.
Settings for an object that is displayed in the Contents area can be defined in customization of the object.
The UI page structure can be changed using advanced customization. It is possible to provide per-page
headers or footers or to completely omit the header, the footer, or both.
Which objects can be customized?

Resource objects can be customized and reused in any access profile with an access policy that assigns
resources. The following resource objects can be customized:
Network access resources
Remote desktops
Webtops
Webtop links
Portal access resources
App tunnels
16
SAML resources
Access profiles and the objects that they contain can be customized. Access profile objects are specific to
the particular access profile and are not available for reuse in other access profiles.
About access profile objects and settings

When performing customization, an access profile includes common settings, and settings for some of the
objects that are included in the access policy.
Common
These settings affect any UI page that displays when the access profile runs. The settings affect text,
such as headers and footers and commonly used messages, and look and feel.
Logout
Settings are available to specify an image and text for a page that displays on logout, when access is
denied, when a new session must be started, and so on.
Logon Pages
Settings are available for logon page-type actions (logon page, HTTP 401 response, HTTP 407 response,
VMware View logon) that are included in the access policy (directly or through the inclusion of a macro).
Settings affect the text and look and feel for the specific object.
Message Pages
Settings are available for each specific Message Box action included in the access policy. The settings
affect the text and look and feel for the specific object.
Decision Pages
Settings are available for each specific Decision Box action included in the access policy. The settings
affect the text and look and feel for the specific object.
Ending Pages
Settings are available for an Ending Deny page and affect the text and look and feel for the page.

About general customization for logon pages

Logon page customization depends to some extent on the logon page properties that are configured in the
visual policy editor. Logon page properties include five fields that can be configured to accept some type
of input or not (when the input type is set to none). Any field that does not accept input is hidden from the
user at logon; however, it is not hidden in the customization user interface.
General customization for a logon page supports changing:
The text on the screen, including the prompts for input fields.
The image to display.
Note: These properties can also be updated from the visual policy editor. The same file is updated whether
personalizing the logon page from general customization or the visual policy editor.
Logon page field customization illustration

The type of input that a logon page field accepts can only be specified in the visual policy editor. If the type
is none, the field cannot be customized in the visual policy editor and, at logon, it is hidden from the user.
However, all five fields are always available for customization from the General Customization view.

About advanced customization

With advanced customization, it is possible to change almost anything with a certain knowledge of HTML,
CSS, and JavaScript. UI templates, which consist of HTML and PHP files, and CSS files, are available for
edit directly from the Advanced Customization view.
About customization variables

Customization variables are special symbols, such as %[variable_name], in a UI template. A customization
variable is a placeholder for actual customization and localization values. When a UI page is generated from
a UI template, customization variables are replaced with actual values.
Important: Customization uses the same UI templates for all languages. Therefore, F5 recommends that
when you customize UI templates, you reuse customization variables for localized texts. Otherwise, you
risk creating localization conflicts.
About PHP code

Customization uses PHP code inside UI templates.
Important: F5 recommends that when you customize UI templates, you do not delete or modify PHP code.
About CSS code

In the hierarchy of the advanced customization user interface, all CSS code is located under Access Profile >
Common. The folder contains various versions of the Access Policy Manager (APM) CSS code with
names such as apm_mobile.css and apm_full.css. When displaying generated UI pages, APM picks
the correct .css file for the client (mobile browser, full browser, BIG-IP Edge Client).
If you create a UI template that partially or completely replaces the default structure provided by F5, F5
recommends that you do not change existing CSS definitions but add your own with different names (IDs).
Otherwise, you run the risk that other non-customized pages will be misrendered.
To replace a main table with your div, on the logon page for example, replace <table id="main_table"
class="logon_page"> with your <table id="cust-main" class="cust-logn-page">.
32
Coding recommendations
With advanced customization, you can partially or completely replace the default structure for pages. To
avoid unexpected problems however, follow these recommendations when editing .css and .inc files.
.css file
Do not change existing CSS definitions but add your own with different names (IDs). Otherwise,
you run the risk that other non-customized pages will be misrendered.
In your new code, reuse existing customization variables (%[variable_name]) rather than creating
new ones; doing so prevents localization conflicts.
Do not change PHP code.
.inc file
In most cases, you can safely replace the code in .inc files.
Updating a .css file with additional code to customize a logon page table
The first line of the code for the existing logon page table is: <table id="main_table"
class="logon_page">. Retain that code and add code for a div or a table that you want to use instead.
For example, the code for a new table might start like this: <table id="cust-main"
class="cust-logn-page">.
Access profile common .css and .inc files

You can customize the following files for access profiles in the Advanced Customization view.
Name Description
apm_full.css File that contains all CSS for desktop browsers; also contains this PHP:
apmCssCustomizationReg - array with variables that come from general
customization data.

used to fix specific issues with CSS .
apm_mobile.css File that contains all CSS for mobile browsers. If you want mobile pages to look
exactly the same as full browser pages, you can replace the contents of
apm_mobile.css contents with the contents of apm_full.css.
footer.inc The include file that specifies the footer text line.
apm_edge.css File contains all CSS for BIG-IP Edge Client pages.
Important: F5 recommends that you do not edit this file.

About advanced customization images

In the General Customization view, each access profile, access profile page, and webtop includes an Advanced
Customization Images setting. The setting provides storage for up to ten images that are then available for
use in the Advanced Customization view. An image specified in the setting is managed with the parent
object; it is exported, imported, copied, or deleted along with the parent object. It persists with the parent
object through backup and upgrade procedures. An image is specified as a name-value pair.
Name
Images names (image00 through image09) are fixed; they are only placeholders. An image name, for
example image00, does not correspond to a location on a page or to an image that is already used in the
UI. The numerals, 00, do not indicate order or precedence. The image name can used as a variable in
the code for a parent object in the Advanced Customization view. This code specifies image00 as a
variable: <img src="%[image00]"/>.
Value
Image values provide file paths and the file names for image files. To use the image, the value can be
copied from the setting in the General Customization view into the code in the Advanced Customization
view. A default value /public/images/my/tr.gif indicates that a customized image has not been
specified.
35
Figure 11: Advanced Customization Images settings for some customization objects
About best practices for advanced customization images

You can think of the Advanced Customization Images settings as libraries of images. Each library has a
scope: the object that manages the library can always use images from it; sometimes child objects can also
use images from the library of a parent object. Advanced Customization Images settings offer a lot of
flexibility. When deciding where to store images, consider how much flexibility you need and whether
using images from a parent object library provides adequate control.
Access Profile Advanced Customization Images

If you store images in the Advanced Customization Images setting for an access profile, you can use
the images not only in the access profile code but also in the code for access policy pages. The advantage
of this approach is that if you need to update images, you only need to change them in one setting.
However, if you want to ensure that images on an access policy page remain the same regardless of
changes to images in the access profile Advanced Customization Images setting, this might not be the
approach you want to use.
36
Access Policy pages Advanced Customization Images

If you store images in the Advanced Customization Images setting for an access policy page, you can
use the images in the code for that page only. You can store the same images that are stored at the access
profile level, different images, a mix of both, or no images.
Webtop Advanced Customization Images

If you store images in the Advanced Customization Images for a webtop, you can use the images in the
code for that webtop only. However, general customization provides many settings in which to specify
icons; it might be simpler to use it.
Example: Adding an image to an access policy page

In this example, a custom image is stored in the Advanced Customization Images settings for one of the
access policy pages, a message box page. In the Advanced Customization view, the code for the message
box page is updated to add a custom image to the right side of the page.
Figure 12: Sample custom image
Figure 13: Default message page
37
Figure 14: Customized message page with image
Note: This example includes tasks to complete in the General Customization view before you update the
code and code changes to make in the Advanced Customization view.

Customizing the APM logon page
Overview: Customizing the logon page

Customizing the APM logon page
Overview: Customizing the logon page

Using the Customization tool, you can personalize your logon page with your organization's brand images
and colors, and change the layout of the logon page screen. In this implementation, you change a header
logo image on the logon page.
Customizing a logo on the logon screen

Customization is a trial-and-error process. For practice, you should create a new virtual server and access
policy in Access Policy Manager (APM) before you start customizing your logon page.
With the Customization tool, you can personalize and localize page layout, colors, images, and messages
for the BIG-IP APM browser pages.
1. In your web browser address bar, type the IP address of the BIG-IP system with which you are working.
The BIG-IP system logon page opens.
2. Right-click the logon page.
The browser shortcut menu opens.
3. Click Inspect Element.
The Inspect Element option might appear as a different name in different browsers (such as, View
Source).
A screen displaying the HTML code of the web page opens.
4. Hover your cursor over a line of HTML code.
You can see the exact HTML code that matches the icons, text, entry fields, and buttons that appear on
the GUI. The tag ID displays the type of the object on the GUI, such as a header or a banner.
5. On the logon page, in the Username and Password fields, type your user name and password, and click
Log in.
Browser settings.
7. In the left pane, expand the folders and navigate to Access Profiles > Common >
access_profile_name > Common, then click Page Header Settings.
The access profile for your configuration is unique. You can select the access profile that is relevant to
the BIG-IP system. For other items in the Configuration utility besides the page header, use the HTML
code to determine the correct tab and the access policy in the Customization screen.
The Page Header Settings display.
8. For the Header left image (Full Size) setting, click the file path of the image in the Value column, and
in the resulting field, type the file path of the new image that you want to add.
9. Click the Save button.
10. On the Main tab, click Access Policy > Access Profiles.
The Access Profiles List screen opens.
11. Select the check box for the access policy that you customized.
12. Click Apply Access Policy.
13. Click Log Out.
The logon page opens.
The header logo is now the new image that you uploaded in the Customization screen.
