  1. Click OK.
  2. Restart the web application server.

SAS 9.4

In SAS 9.4 with no maintenance, you must edit several localized property files in order to change the banner and browser title. Here are the steps:

  1. Determine how many property files you need to edit. The property files are localized, so there is one property file for each language that is supported. Typically, you need to edit only those files that match the languages needed by your users. The title values are stored in the messages.properties and messages_<locale>.properties files in the location below.
<SASHome>\SASWebInfrastructurePlatform\9.4\Static\wars\sas.svcs.logon\WEB-INF\classes

For example, if you have users who are running their web browsers in English and Spanish, then, at a minimum, edit the following files: 

  • messages.properties (the default file, which should always be edited)
  • messages_en.properties (for English)
  • messages_es.properties (for Spanish)
  1. To change the titles, edit the property files with a plain text editor. Search for the lines that begin with sas.browser.title and sas.page.title. Replace the values with your title. Here is an example of changing the banner and browser title to Custom logon manager title
sas.browser.title=Custom logon manager title
sas.page.title=Custom logon manager title
  1. Rebuild and redeploy the Web Infrastructure Platform 9.4 web application using the instructions from the SAS 9.4 Intelligence Platform: Middle-Tier Administration Guide.

Note: The properties files might be overwritten by updates such as hot fixes or maintenance releases. If so, you must repeat the steps above.
