8.0 Customizing the PBA Login Screen

The Pre-Boot Authentication login screen appears each time the device starts. The default background image for the login screen looks like the following:

The background image is a single file, pba_bkgd_image.png. If desired, you can replace the default image with your own custom image. The following sections provide instructions:

Section 8.1, Creating a Custom Background Image File
Section 8.2, Adding the Custom Background Image File to the FSEBRAND.BIN File
Section 8.3, Distributing the Rebranded FSEBRAND.BIN File to Devices

IMPORTANT:If you want to customize the background image, you should do so before applying a Disk Encryption policy with Pre-Boot Authentication to devices. When the PBA is initialized, the PBA Linux partition is created and the background image is added to it. The only way to replace the background image after it is in the Linux partition is to remove the ZENworks PBA and reinstall it; this requires you deactivate the PBA in the Disk Encryption policy, update the policy on the device so that the PBA is removed, and then reactivate the PBA in the policy and reapply the policy to the device.
