Some installations may require the use of a secure log in screen. By default, the log in screen is turned off. You can enable this screen which will require all users to enter their log in information each time they access the Meister GUI or the Management Control Console.
There is a .jsp file that controls the displaying of the secure log in screen. It is called login.jsp and it can be found in the Knowledge Base Installation Root directory under /tomcat/webapps/openmake.ear/openmake.war/reports. This file is read by the Meister GUI and Management Control Console upon start up to determine if the installation requires a secure log in.
To enable the secure log in, you must rename the login.jsp to login.jsp.old and then rename the file called require_login.jsp to login.jsp. Once you have completed this step, stop the Knowledge Base server and clean out the JSP work directory for your application server, or otherwise ensure that all JSP’s are recompiled. For Tomcat-based Knowledge Base servers, all files and folders in the JSP work directory need to be deleted. This directory is typically located at “<Meister install path>/kbserver/tomcat/work”. After this is done, start the Knowledge Base Server, Meister GUI and Management Control Console.
The newly renamed login.jsp will now instruct the Meister GUI and Management Control Console to enable the secure login.
