Managing PC preregistration pages

In UAM, a preregistration page configuration is referred to as a page set, which includes a page set name, the preregistration page, path and name of the page file, and a description.

There are two types of preregistration page sets in UAM:

• Template-based preregistration page sets—Preregistration pages that are created based on predefined templates.

• Imported preregistration page sets—External preregistration pages that are imported into UAM.

The following sections describe these two types of preregistration pages separately.

1. Click the User tab.

2. From the navigation tree, select User Access Policy > Customize Terminal Pages > Preregistration Page.

3. Click the PC tab.

   The tab consists of a template area and a preregistration page set list.

Template area

UAM provides four content templates (templates 1 to 4), one blank template, and one user-defined template for creating PC preregistration pages.

• Content templates—Provides editable sample PC preregistration pages. You can quickly create a preregistration page by editing the template.

• Blank template—Allows you to create a PC preregistration page from scratch.

• User-defined template—Allows you to import external preregistration pages to UAM.

Preregistration page set list contents

• Expand—Click the Expand icon to expand the preregistration page details area. The area contains the file path of the page, the page URL, and a description. Click the Collapse icon to collapse the area.

• Custom Name—Unique name of the preregistration page.

• Template Name—Name of the template based on which the preregistration page is created. User-Defined indicates the preregistration page is an external page imported to UAM. Blank indicates the page is created from scratch by using the blank template.

• Type—Type of the page: User Preregistration or Guest Preregistration.

• Draw—Click the User Preregistration or Guest Preregistration icon to edit the preregistration page. This field is empty if the Template Name field displays User Defined.

• Preview—Click the Password Change Page icon to preview the password change page. This field is empty if the Template Name field displays User Defined.

• Copy—Click the Copy icon to create a new copy of the preregistration page set. This field is empty if the Template Name field displays User Defined.

You can copy, modify, delete, edit, and preview preregistration page sets that are created based on a content template or the blank template.
