How to customise Conflunce Login Page text

Question

Hi

I'm using Confluence 5.1.x instance within our corporate firewall and a few users are persistently using the wrong login credentials. I'd like to make the login process "fool proof" by changing the text displayed on the page (../login.action) from "Log In" to "Log In using your Active Directory credentials".

I understand that these pages are driven by Velocity templates but I'm not sure whether I should be making changes in /confluence/login.vm (its not obvious to me where though?), or is the change simply changing the interface text found in: ConfluenceActionSupport.properties (extracted from /confluence/WEB-INF/lib/confluence-x.x.x.jar). If the latter, can anyone suggest which name value pair needs changing, I see a few candidates such as: com.atlassian.confluence.user.actions.LoginAction.action.name=Log In, but I'm not sure whether this is correct.

Hopefully I'm not too far off track!?

Thanks

Gavin.

Hi

with the queryparam i18ntranslate=on could you activate a "show me the ident view".

If you call  {your host here}/login.action?i18ntranslate=on you see the corresponding identifier, which is login.name.
