Pre-Login Banner
With a pre-login banner, when a user logs into Cisco UCS Manager GUI, Cisco UCS Manager displays the
banner text in the Create Pre-Login Banner dialog box and waits until the user dismisses that dialog box
before it prompts for the username and password. When a user logs into Cisco UCS Manager CLI, Cisco UCS
Manager displays the banner text in a dialog box and waits for the user to dismiss that dialog box before it
prompts for the password. It then repeats the banner text above the copyright block that it displays to the user.
Creating the Pre-Login Banner
If the Pre-Login Banner area does not appear on the Banners tab, Cisco UCS Manager does not display a
pre-login banner when users log in. If the Pre-Login Banner area does appear, you cannot create a second
pre-login banner. You can only delete or modify the existing banner.
