You can configure the Email Security appliance to display a message called a “login banner” when a user
attempts to log into the appliance through SSH, Telnet, FTP, or Web UI. The login banner is
customizable text that appears above the login prompt in the CLI and to the right of the login prompt in
the GUI. You can use the login banner to display internal security information or best practice
instructions for the appliance. For example, you can create a simple note that saying that unauthorized
use of the appliance is prohibited or a detailed warning concerning the organization’s right to review
changes made by the user to the appliance.
Use the adminaccessconfig > banner command in the CLI to create the login banner. The maximum
length of the login banner is 2000 characters to fit 80x25 consoles. A login banner can be imported from
a file in the /data/pub/configuration directory on the appliance. After creating the banner, commit
your changes.
Figure 15-17 shows a login banner displayed on the Web UI login screen.

for your Cisco IronPort appliance. You can select a specific time zone or GMT offset.
