    • Create a custom version of the nls/html/LoginPageCopyrightContent.html template and modify it to use whatever HTML formatting and template substitutions that you want. Then, create a custom copy of the nls/LoginPageCopyrightContent.properties file and add or modify the properties in it to provide the necessary substitutions for your custom HTML template.
    • If you do not want to use an HTML template with substitutions, you can create a custom copy of the nls/html/LoginPageCopyrightContent.html template file. Then, replace the template substitution references with the actual copyright text that you want to display.
