How to do a system use notification/MOTD in Virtual ViewX

[AdamWoodlandToo]

Originally was a question asking if anyone has done this to save me some time, has turned into a info post incase anyone else needs to do the same and see if there is a better way.

From IEC62443-3-3 SR 1.12 "The control system shall provide the capability to display a system use notification message before authenticating. The system use notification message shall be configurable by authorized personnel".

From a quick play it looks to be driven from C:\Program Files\Schneider Electric\VirtualViewX\web\login.html

At around line 45 of that file (in the Geo SCADA 2023 original release, other versions it might move) add the green text below (black text is the existing text just to help you find the correct place). Change the notification text to whatever you need, this one is shamelessly stolen from Cisco's examples.

<div id="login-page" class="login-panel">
  <span>&nbsp;</span>
    <div class="center">
    <div class="row">
      UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO THIS DEVICE IS PROHIBITED
    </div>
    <div class="row">
      You must have explicit, authorized permission to access or configure this device. Unauthorized attempts and actions to access or use this system may result in civil and/or criminal penalties. All activities performed on this device are logged and monitored.
    </div>
    <div class="row">
      <input type="text" name="username" id="userid" placeholder="Username" autofocus required />
    </div>

Expect that login.html file to be replaced with any upgrade/repair/reinstall to VVx so back it up as necessary, just be careful you don't just replace it back again post upgrade as you might lose some functionality/weaken some security feature.

That's the best I could work out, has anyone found a better way? Not sure if this change will be supported by the Product team so use at own risk and take necessary backups!
