RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
this bug is just to track:
https://pagure.io/freeipa/issue/6732
[RFE] customisable MOTD on login / banner in Web UI
in RHEL7 since it has required by a customer.
I wonder what capabilities should the message of the day have?
Should it be only one sentence? Or should it support links? Does it need to support getting the source from another place?
There is a lot of ways how to implement it.
If somebody wants to have this capability with currently released IPA servers, then a Web UI plugin could be the way. In principle, MOTD is almost the same as the instruction box which FreeIPA public demo uses:
* public demo: https://ipa.demo1.freeipa.org/ipa/ui/
* plugin which implements it https://pvoborni.fedorapeople.org/plugins/demo/demo.js
Using a plugin has, of course, some disadvantages:
* it practically injects code in Web UI, so it can also break it if not done well, which might have some support implications
* must be deployed on all servers when the message should be seen
Advantage:
* is very flexible. E.g. it can get the MOTD from another source. It can display more complex text. Something like it would probably not be implemented in IPA server itself as it is highly dependent a needs of a company which runs IPA.
