Modifying the main /ovirt-engine/ landing page -- add link to CA Cert?
Hi, I'd like to make some modifications to the main /ovirt-engine/ landing page that I (and my users) hit when then first connect to my server. Specifically, I want to add another link under the "Downloads" section to the ovirt CA certificate to make it much easier to download: <a href="/ovirt-engine/services/pki-resource?resource=ca-certificate&format=X509-PEM-CA">Ovirt CA Certificate</a> However I can't find the HTML for this page, and any links I've found seem to refer back to 3.x locations and not anything for 4.0.5. Where can I find the HTML for this landing page, or how can I get this link added? I presume I'll have to modify the page every time I update the engine, too.

It might be hiding in the war file if that is used to deploy the application (engine) on wildfly (10.x). Another thought occured, can you use the plugin architecture to provide the extra link? Joop

I wouldn't even know where to start to use the plugin architecture to do this. Any documentation pointers?

What exact version do you have? It was changed/fixed several months ago to a link as above

I am running ovirt-engine-4.0.5.5-1.el7.centos.noarch and nowhere in /usr or /etc can I find the HTML for the ovirt-engine main page. Yes, if I **manually type in** the link above it works just fine. As a courtesy to my users I want to add the CA certificate URL as a clickable link off the ovirt main page which is accessible from https://<ovirt>/ovirt-engine/ According to some googling I found that back in the 3.x days this was just an HTML page, but if that's still the case in 4.0 I cannot find it in order to add the above HREF.
I wouldn't even know where to start to use the plugin architecture to do this. Any documentation pointers?

Thanks, Didi. I've read through this page and it provides lots of goodness if I wanted to add new tabs to the portal, but I can't find any hints how I would change the page that's seen when someone first connects to the /ovirt-engine/ page when they first connect to ovirt.

AHA!! There's a section there called "Welcome Page" which pointed me to /usr/share/ovirt-engine/branding/ovirt.brand/welcome_page.template which seems to be exactly what I want to edit! Looks like I need to rewrite that in place, but that's okay. I'm sure it will get overwritten every update but I'll note to fix it then too. I would never have considered this "branding".. :) And of course google never brought me to that link. I'm sure in 20/20 hindsight I would have better search terms for "modify ovirt welcome page" that would've worked. Thank you.

Please check also BRANDING.adoc from the engine source tree [1]. You should be able to add your own directory wherever you want and link to it from /etc/ovirt-engine/branding with a higher number, and it will override the default. You can try either copying only what you want or all of the existing directory. Best, [1] https://gerrit.ovirt.org/gitweb?p=ovirt-engine.git;a=blob;f=BRANDING.adoc

Yes you can make 01-mystuff.brand and in there put a specific template and properties file. In the properties file you can specify if you want to append or completely overwrite the welcome page. If you just want to add a link, I would suggest appending instead of overwriting. If you need more detailed instructions let me know. I am very familiar with that piece of code (since I wrote it).
