The Text Display widget can configured in the Aria Operations UI, or can be configured via a text file.

  1. Add the textDisplay_root property to the /usr/lib/vmware-vcops/user/conf/web/web.properties file to specify the root folder that contains the text file.
  2. Restart the Web service with the command:

    service vmware-vcops-web restart
To configure the Text widget:
  1. In the Aria Operations UI, click Administration >>Global Settings>>User Access
  2. Select Login Message >>Activate.
  3. Type a Title (if needed)
  4. Add Text to the Content section 
  5. Click Save
  6. Click PREVIEW to preview your changes.
