How Customization Works

The security appliance uses customization objects to define the appearance of user screens. A
customization object is compiled from an XML file which contains XML tags for all the customizable
screen items displayed to remote users. The security appliance software contains a customization
template that you can export to a remote PC. You can edit this template and import the template back
into the security appliance as a new customization object.
When you export a customization object, an XML file containing XML tags is created at the URL you
specify. The XML file created by the customization object named Template contains empty XML tags,
and provides the basis for creating new customization objects. This object cannot be changed or deleted
from cache memory, but can be exported, edited, and imported back into the security appliance as a new
customization object.
Customization Objects, Connection Profiles, and Group Policies
Initially, when a user first connects, the default customization object (named DfltCustomization)
identified in the connection profile (tunnel group) determines how the logon screen appears. If the
connection profile list is enabled, and the user selects a different group, and that group has its own
customization, the screen changes to reflect the customization object for that new group.
After the remote user is authenticated, the screen appearance is determined by whether a customization
object that has been assigned to the group policy.
The following sections show how to create customizations and apply them:

Exporting a Customization Template

When you export a customization object, an XML file is created at the URL you specify. The
customization template (named Template) contains empty XML tags, and provides the basis for creating
new customization objects. This object cannot be changed or deleted from cache memory, but can be
exported, edited, and imported back into the security appliance as a new customization object.
You can export a customization object using the export webvpn customization command, make
changes to the XML tags, and import the file as a new object using the import webvpn customization
command.
The following example exports the default customization object (DfltCustomization) and creates the
XML file named dflt_custom:
hostname# export webvpn customization DfltCustomization tftp://209.165.200.225/dflt_custom
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!INFO: Customization object 'DfltCustomization' was exported to
tftp://10.86.240.197/dflt_custom
hostname#
