How to Disable (Grey Out) the System Name on the InfoView Logon Page

The steps described in this article detail how to disable (grey out) the System Name displayed on the InfoView logon page. Doing so will ensure that users can only navigate to a particular environment (e.g. Development) through a chosen application server, as well as removing the possibility of users accidentally typing in an incorrect system name.

Note: These steps apply to Business Objects XI Release 2.
