The default HTML pages for PMS can be easily customized with just an uploaded banner. If
you want to make more sophisticated customized look and feel or functional changes, you
can replace any of the default pages in the file system:
PMS_Login.htm
: This is the captured portal page that all guests will see each time they
connect. By default it includes a terms of service checkbox.
Terms_of_Service_Text.htm
: This is the page that guests see if they select "view terms of
service" on the default PMS_Login page.
PMS_Billing.htm
: This page contains the billing plans. Be very careful editing the code that
generates the billing plan table.
PMS_Error_Login.htm
: If there are any login errors guests will get this page that you can
customize with support information or additional instructions.
PMS_Error_Billing.htm
: If there are any billing errors returned by the PMS, guests will get
this page that you can customize with support information or additional
instructions.
Email Based Authentication
You can allow subscribers to log in by providing an email address by enabling Email
Authentication. The Controller does basic checking for legitimate email addresses, e.g.
fu@fu.com is fine, or a@b.c. These emails are the user name, so they appear in the local user
database and in user reports in the GUI and on the VP Networks Hosted Report Portal. You
can collect these email addresses from the user database or user reports, or export them as
CSV from the Host Report Portal. Or they can just serve as a unique identifier.
Configure Accounts
When users log in using their email address their account is
created according to the setting in "Configure Accounts".
You can customize the login page used for Email Authentication:
email_login.htm
. This page
includes a terms of service checkbox linked to Terms_of_Service_txt.htm. There is single
login field for the email address.
