Issue/Introduction

This article describes the procedure for replacing the default favicon associated with the Identity Manager User Console in an on-premises deployment.

Environment

Identity Manager 14.5 & 15

Cause

The default favicon is a static image file stored within the application server's deployment directories. Replacing this file with a custom .ico file allows for branding customization.

Resolution

For Identity Manager 14.5

1. Navigate to the following deployment directories on your application server:
   
   • Navigate to <Application_Server_Home>/iam_im.ear/user_console.war/app/page.
   • Open

     global_head.jsp

     .
2. Search for the following HTML codes and change the favicon icon to the desired one:

 <link rel="icon" type="image/icon" href="<%= context %>/ui/images/favicon.ico"/>
 <link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/icon" href="<%= context %>/ui/images/favicon.ico"/>

For Identity Manager v15

• Place the respective directory tree at the following location:
  /opt/brcm/iga/conf/idm/user_console/ui

 

For both versions:

1. Create a backup of the existing favicon.ico file in each directory.
2. Copy your custom favicon.ico file into each of the directories listed above, ensuring the file name remains favicon.ico.
3. Clear your browser cache or open the console in a new browser instance to verify the changes.
