Overview

Overview of how the Fortified ID user interface can be adapted to match an organisation's visual identity.

All Fortified ID frontend applications support organisation-specific branding through an overlay mechanism. An overlay controls logos, favicon, background image, colors, titles, and logo behavior across different flows.

An overlay is a directory of files placed alongside the installation. Together they let you adapt the look and feel of authentication pages, Forms, Portal, Password Reset, and the other applications without modifying application code. New to this, start with Get started.

Overlay files

Two files drive everything else. The remaining files are images you reference from them.

File
Purpose

To go further than restyling and replace the user interface of an authenticator entirely, see in the Access documentation.

The default selector page with annotated overlay areas, and an organisation-specific override.

The default portal page with annotated overlay areas, and an organisation-specific override.

css_overrides.css

Colors, buttons, links, progress bar, header, loader, background.

ui_config_overrides.json

Names, titles, logo files, logo sizes, footer link, per-application logo visibility.

favicon.ico

Site icon shown in the browser tab.

logo.svg

Primary logo. Replaces the built-in logo in the applications that use that slot.

Background image

Shown behind authentication pages. Activated from css_overrides.css.

Negative logo

White or negative variant for Portal, Forms, and Password Reset. Activated from ui_config_overrides.json.

The last two entries are conventions rather than fixed file names. They do nothing until something points at them. See for the distinction.
