## 15.9. Using a Custom Background Image on the EKM Sign-in Page

Follow the steps below if you want to incorporate a custom background image on the sign-in page.

1. Shut down the EKM server. Refer to the chapter on Starting and Connecting to EKM in the Installation Guide for details.

2. If not already present, create a text file named custom.properties and save it in `\Apache\htdocs`.

3. Add the following entry to the custom.properties file, then save the file:

   `login.backgroundImage=/../../loginPageBackGroundImageFolder/loginPageBackGroundImage.png`

4. Go to `\Apache\htdocs` and create a folder there named loginPageBackGroundImageFolder.

5. Name your custom background image loginPageBackGroundImage.png, and copy it to `\Apache\htdocs\loginPageBackGroundImageFolder`.

6. Restart the EKM server.

Note: To revert the background to the default that ships with EKM, simply remove the `login.backgroundImage` entry from the custom.properties file. Remember that you will need to stop and restart the server in order for the change to take effect.
