title: Customize Authentication Dropdown in Business Objects 4.1 BI Launch Pad
body: <p>Looking for a way to customize the authentication dropdown presented to users when logging into the BI LaunchPad application, version 4.1 (known as InfoView in prior versions).  Currently, users are asked to make one of the following choices: Enterprise, LDAP, Windows AD, SAP, JD Edwards Enterprise, Oracle EBS, PeopleSoft Enterprise, and Siebel7.</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/jz9HV.png" alt="Screenshot of Authentication Types in Dropdown"></p>
  
  <p>The <code>BILanchPad.properties</code> file has already been modified as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>authentication.visible=true
  authentication.default=secEnterprise
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This was done to allow the users to choose (some are logging in with Windows AD, most with Enterprise) their authentication type.  My goal is to remove the extra options (LDAP, SAP, etc.) so that if a user tries to choose their authentication type, only the two 'valid' options will be visible to them. </p>
  
  <p>Again, I've already set the properties for the default and making the dropdown visible.  I'm not interested in changing those, just in limiting the options within the list. </p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to customize what authentication types appear in this drop down?</p>
