Setting ScreenOS Authentication Options Using Banners Overview
You can customize the message that appears when a device administrator logs on to the security device through Telnet, FTP, HTTP, or WebAuth. This message, called a banner, provides confirmation to device administrators to let them know the status of the connection. Default banners already exist, but you can write a new message to suit your needs. You can use different banners for each protocol.

Note: To configure the Telnet, SSH, or console connection banner, see Configuring CLI Banners in NSM Overview. |
To configure a protocol banner, select the protocol tab and edit the default Telnet, FTP, and HTTP messages as described in Table 1.
Table 1: Protocol Banner Settings
To configure the WebAuth banner, select the WebAuth tab and enter a new message (or edit the existing default message in the Success text box. This message is provided to auth user when their WebAuth credentials have been authenticated and a connection has been established. The message appears at the top of a Web browser screen, after an auth user has successfully logged on to a WebAuth address. Typically, the message informs the user that the authentication was successful, but you can enter any message you want, up to a maximum of 220 characters.
Banners are optional; you are not required to configure banners for the security device.
