The default Loginapp page templates search for maintenance messages without a "Location" parameter. Thus, when adding a maintenance message with a "Location", the out-of-the-box Loginapp (JSP) will never display it.
To make the Loginapp to use a location parameter, you need to change the Loginapp (JSP) template files. More information on how to customize the Loginapp (JSP) pages can be found here: 17.4.11. Customizing UI (look and feel) of the JSP-Loginapp.
Example using the Loginapp (JSP) template set 1.0
login.jsp Excerpt using Location "bottom" (template set 1.0)
... <jsp:useBean id="medusaSessionBean" class="com.airlock.iam.login.app.misc.SessionBean" scope="session"/> <jsp:useBean id="loginServletBean" class="com.airlock.iam.login.app.misc.LoginServletBean" scope="request"/> <%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" %> <html> ... <div id="lowermessage"> <% if (StringUtils.isNotBlank(medusaSessionBean.getMaintenanceMessage("bottom"))) { %> <div id="maintenancemessage"> <%=medusaSessionBean.getMaintenanceMessage("bottom")%> </div> <% } %> </div> ... </
Example using the Loginapp (JSP) template set 2.0
footer-custom.jsp Excerpt using Location "bottom" (template set 2.0)
<jsp:useBean id="medusaSessionBean" class="com.airlock.iam.login.app.misc.SessionBean" scope="session" /> <jsp:useBean id="loginServletBean" class="com.airlock.iam.login.app.misc.LoginServletBean" scope="request" /> <div class="text-message text-message--maintenance" id ="maintMsg"> <%=medusaSessionBean.getMaintenanceMessage("bottom")%> </div>
Using Locations in the REST API
The example below shows a maintenance message call that filters for a location named "REST":
HTTP Request - location filter
GET https://iam-host.com/auth-login/rest/public/maintenance-messages?filter=location==REST
With this query, the response will only return a maintenance message with a location parameter "REST":
HTTP Response - location filter
200 OK{ "meta": { "type": "jsonapi.metadata.document", "timestamp": "2018-12-18T15:21:33.873+01:00" }, "data": [ { "type": "maintenance-message.current", "id": "REST_test", "attributes": { "systemAvailable": true, "location": "REST", "validFrom": "2018-12-16T09:00:00.000+01:00", "validTo": "2018-12-22T14:00:00.000+01:00", "language": "de", "text": "test for REST" } } ] }
