  • 1.  Suggestions on how to redirect Clarity (URL redirection)

    I am looking for suggestions on how to redirect Clarity to a "Clarity Is Under Maintenance" Page.

    Currently, in my company our Clarity environment is unavailable between 11PM and 12AM daily (US Easthern time) for maintenance. If anyone tries to login during this hour he/she will get a "not found" browser error. This is annoying specially to west coast users. What I'd like to implement is a way to redirect the url to a page that informs users that Clarity is currently under maintenance.

    Has anyone done a similar job before? I am welcoming suggestions.

    Thank you.

    A simple and fairly safe way is to modify the Login.gif and put the message on it as a text.
    That does not prevent from trying to login, though.
    You could prevent that by hiding the login box, but that is even less supported.

    Wouldn't this be done on the web server? The webserver needs to be re-pointed to a separate html when there is supposed to be an outage.
