This section can only be performed on an on-premise deployment of Appspace.
To set up your own custom login page to Appspace, first you need to create your custom login page. Your login form must have the username and password HTML text inputs with the following names:
<input type=”text” name=”nexuslogin” id=”nexuslogin” /> <input type=”password” name=”nexuspassword” id=”nexuspassword” />
Your login form must post to Appspace login page URL, for e.g. “http://appspace.nexusondemand.com/app/login.aspx”. After the custom login page is created, upload it to your public server. In the Custom Login Page section, click on the Your Custom Login Page radio button and enter the link to your custom login page in the textbox provided (e.g. www.somedomain.com/somevirtualdirectory/appspace-custom-login.html). The following shows a sample of a custom login page and the associated HTML code behind it.
