WSO2 API Manager(wso2am-4.1.0) - Customize Login Pages for Developer Portal and Publisher

I'm trying to customize the login pages for the dev portal and publisher and I'm referring to the below documentation.

https://apim.docs.wso2.com/en/latest/reference/customize-product/customizations/customizing-login-pages-for-dev-portal-and-publisher/

The 1st step tells to download the Identity Server and in the 2nd step, it says to start up the server using api-manager.sh which could be a mistake.

Steps 1 and 2

However, I have the following questions related to the scenario.

  1. In order to customize the login pages in APIM, should I start up the IS as a key manager as well?
  2. Can't we customize the login pages just by using the JSP files readily available in the authentication endpoint in APIM?
Solution

  • I guess the documentation should be updated. You can use the existing jsp files in the authentication endpoint if you use OAuth2/OpenID. If you are using SAML, then you have to use WSO2 IS as the IDP with WSO2 API Manager.

    Some samples can be found in [1].

    By default API Manager uses OAuth2/OpenID. You can do the service provider configurations in API Manager. OAuth2/OpenID and SAML use the jsp files used in the authentication endpoint.
