APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When configuring the "System Wide Login Message" to generate a
  message above the Build Forge web UI login box, the boxed
  message will be shorter then the login page.
  This leaves space on the right size of the login message and is
  misaligned with the login page.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  - Add message (This is a login message) under the "System Wide
  Login Message" console setting.
  - Logout
  - Review the login message under the login page.
  
  Expected result:
  
  The login message box is the same length as the login box.
  
  Actual result:
  
  The login message box is left aligned and the length is shorter
  than the login box.
  

Local fix

• 1. Navigate into the following two directories and extract the
  /web/styles/log.css file under the com.ibm.jas-1.0.jar file
  using the jar file provided under Build Forge.
  	a.
  /opt/buildforge/server/tomcat/work/Catalina/localhost/jas/eclips
  e/plugins
  	b.
  /opt/buildforge/server/tomcat/webapps/jas/WEB-INF/eclipse/plugin
  s
  
  	jar -xf com.ibm.jas-1.0.jar /web/styles/log.css
  
  3. Open the log.css file and change the "width" value for
  ".login_messages" from 350px to 400px.
  5. Save the file and update the com.ibm.jas-1.0.jar file
  
  	jar -uf com.ibm.jas-1.0.jar /web/styles/log.css
  
  6. Restart Build Forge
