A:
You can access and modify the login pages via FTP. If you useLDAP-Authentication for example you need to modify
SYS:\ETC\PROXY\DATA\CALOGLDP.HTM.

You can find a more detailed explanation in the docs:

You will need to restart the appliance after you changed the login pages.

Or, here's another trick. Instead of modifying the default login page, you cancreate two directories under SYS:ETC\PROXY\DATA.
Dir1: loginpg1
Dir2: loginpg2

Inside of these directories, make a copy of your login page, e.g. CALOGLDP.HTM. Point your accelerators to loginpg1.When you change the login page, update the files in loginpg2. Then change the accelerators. Next time you change, it goes to loginpg1 in round-robin fashion. You could use other schemes.Everything works on the fly, no need to reboot the appliance.
