Depending on what auth method you chose, the answers may (or may not) vary. I have settings in

/etc/ood/config/apps/dashboard/env

that include

OOD\_DASHBOARD\_HEADER\_IMG\_LOGO=/public/header.png

which displays /var/www/ood/public/header.png. That file has a branding image.

I also have

OOD\_ANNOUNCEMENT\_PATH="/etc/ood/config/announcement.yml"

which allows me to put messages in yaml format to display on the landing page, e.g., on my dev system

type: warning

msg: |

This is _OnDemand Dev_ - a development and test server; **nothing is safe here**.

This is covered (mostly) in the Branding Section of the docs as I remember it. Also check out

/var/www/ood/apps/sys/dashboard/config/examples/…

as you may get some more ideas from the various examples there.

Cheers,

Ric
