Picture Addition for OBIEE Login Page

Here I'm gonna show how to add a nice background picture for the OBIEE login page.
After finding the desired picture you should place it in the following location:
"(...)\tmp\_WL_user\analytics_11.1.1\7dezjl\war\res\sk_blafp\login"

Next, you should take a backup of the login.css file located in the same directory and then open it up for modification. It's the first element "body" that you need to change. Take the following piece of code:

body
{
background-color: #fff;
background-image: url(background_blue_whitegradient_.png);
background-position: top left;
background-repeat: repeat-x;
margin-bottom: 0;
margin-left: 0;
margin-right: 0;
margin-top: 0;
}

And change it to(considering that the name of the new desired background is "background.jpg"):

body {
    background-image: url(background.jpg);
    background-position: top center;
    background-color: #fff;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: 100%;
    margin-left: 0;
    margin-top: 0;
    margin-right: 0;
    margin-bottom: 0;
}


Restart the OBIEE servers and enjoy the result.

Of course, you might also want to customize OBIEE and change the Oracle logo or the brand name at the top left corner, but there are already plenty of sources describing that and I won't cover that here.

Thanks for watching!
