Can I change the line upon which the domain displays on the login page?

[Ron_E_James_D.O]

I have my :20000 login text customized to specify that you must enter your complete email address to login, because that has been my experience. (I believe that I documented conclusively last year that the setting for “Automatically try appending domain name to usernames” under Webmin → Webmin → Usermin Configuration → Authentication does not have the hoped-for effect of assuming @yourdomain.com an allowing just a username login: https://forum.virtualmin.com/t/can-usermin-assume-the-domain-from-the-url-at-20000-for-the-logins/129871 at least on Ubuntu 24.)

Is there any way that I could join it to the line with the domain on it rather than the (generated from somewhere) domain appearing on a new line by itself?

Right now I have “complete email address as user@domain.com to login to the-domain.com”… it would be slick if it just said “complete email address as user@the-domain.com”

For me it is important to make the text clear as certain users will also be directed to :10000 when they are domain owners and ask about account management. For that login, the opposite is true (those users are from Virtualmin → the-domain → Manage Virtual Server → Manage Extra Admin, and they cannot be fully qualified email addresses), and I would be interested to know if the auto-generated the-domain.com can be removed from that page).

In the past I was helpfully directed to this post to customize the text of my logins:

https://github.com/webmin/authentic-theme/issues/639#issuecomment-271138852

For anyone who wants a quick and dirty recap (of just that bit) search the file:

/usr/share/webmin/authentic-theme/lang/en
/usr/share/usermin/authentic-theme/lang/en

(webmin is for :10000, usermin is for :20000… “en” is for English, adjust accordingly… “share” might be “libexec” in some OSes apparently)

for the thing that you would like to change (in my case “login_message”)

Make (or edit) a file here:

/etc/webmin/authentic-theme/custom-lang
/etc/usermin/authentic-theme/custom-lang

With just the lines you would like replaced (the theme will use those just for those lines). For example:

login_message=Ron is cool

Ron

SYSTEM INFORMATION
OS type and version	Ubuntu 24.04.2
Virtualmin version	2.402

The premise isn’t correct though, as there can be logins with @ in them.

And, yes—you can use custom-lang file to replace the default text.

I think to login to Webmin on :10000 you have to have an account under:

Manage Virtual Server → Manage Extra Admins

But if I create an account with an “@” it says:

If I create that user without an “@” sign, using ‘username@the-domain.com’ does not work (and using just ‘username’ does).

It is also my experience that logging into :20000 does not work with just the username, only with ‘username@the-domain.com’.

My main question though is whether I can move the location of the bolded “testdomain15.com” in these forms. It seems that “something” says: ‘and then put the domain in bold type on the line below the text’ and I can’t find that.

Whatever I change my “login_message” in my custom_lang file I still end up with that domain on its own line. I would rather incorporate it like “Please login using your username@testdomain15.com”. Right now the best I could do would be:

      Please login with username@
           testdomain15.com
