Creating Customized Security Messages

As the administrator, you can add a custom message on the Connect to Mart screen. The message appears whenever one of the client applications (erwin Mart Portal or erwin Mart Portal Navigator Edition) connects to the mart. The message appears after your connection to the desired mart is authenticated and before the connection dialog closes.

Follow these steps:

After you install and configure the Mart, locate and open the privacy.message file.
If you are using the default web server Tomcat, the file is available in the following folder:
```
C:\Program Files\erwin\Mart Portal r9\Tomcat64\
webapps\Mart Portal\WEB-INF\classes
```
Type the message that you want to display and save the file.
The message can be up to 2000 characters long, anything beyond 2000 characters is not displayed. Insert line-breaks manually after every 80 characters, for the message to display properly. If there are no manual line-breaks, Windows automatically inserts line-breaks in the security message. These line-breaks are based on the specific version of Windows you use.
From the Windows Start menu, click All Programs, erwin, erwin Mart Portal 12.5 , Stop Mart Portal Service to stop the web server.
From the Windows Start menu, click All Programs, erwin, erwin Mart Portal 12.5 , Start Mart Portal Service to start the web server again.
When a user connects to the Mart the next time, the security message is displayed.

To suppress the security message, open the privacy.message file and delete the contents. Do not delete the file.
