multiple applications

Post by vinsnash »

Can the "logon.html" be modified to launch different applications depending on the logon ID and password?

I have three applications that I would like to keep a "wall" between. One is general membership which I have 95% configured and will probably launch next month. The access to that is limited to chapter administrators and is manageable as far as regular user ID and password. I would like to have another application that is available to general membership that provides access to online correspondence course work and the other that would be available to general membership that is registration for training evolutions.

I would like to set up a generic log on that would verify a member status via a member ID and then use one of two or three "regular user" access levels and perspectives.

Maybe there is a better way?

Hi Vins,

Are these three separate BSVs ?

Hi Vins,

I don't know which version of Aware you are using, but it should just be a matter of publishing the three BSVs and then using different URLs for your users to login depending on the App they want to access .... eg http://localhost:8080/AwareIM/logonOp.aw?domain=App1 .... etc etc

Does this work for you ?

I'm not sure. The URL I use now is the default

http://www.nscpers.org:8080/AwareIM/logon.html

Evidently that "logon.html" executes a script that executes the published application. Can the "logon.html" be modified and used as something like

"http://www.nscpers.org:8080/AwareIM/logonA.html" to launch a different application?


If so, I'll get help from someone that knows that stuff and try it.

So what version and edition of Aware are you using ?

Can you publish a BSV in your version ?

4.9/1301 and yes.

Actually I'm just thinking out loud. I want to avoid creating a huge base of ID's and passwords to maintain. I can probably just create a universal log on for the application with access level and perspective, require an ID input like the SSN, and then check the personnel record for validity, eligibility, etc. That might be the easiest route.

Hi Vins,

If you have three separate BSVs, it's very easy to publish them and use separate login urls to access the three applications independently - unless you really want them all in one big application.

The urls are documented in the user guide.

I think I found what your talking about. But it leaves a little for the "layman" to deduce:

2. http://localhost:8080/AwareIM/logonOp.aw?domain=CRM
Show a dialog to enter user name and password. Once the user enters the values the system will log into the specified business space (CRM) in the regular mode using the specified credentials

I don't understand the acronym CRM. What is the syntax of that. Is "?domain" a variable or part of the required syntax? For instance if I where to add the "Library" application as an additional BSV what would "?domain=CRM" look like?

Thanks

Hi Vins,

Just publish your BSVs and then refer to them in the login URL - eg

http://localhost:8080/AwareIM/logonOp.aw?domain=Library

http://localhost:8080/AwareIM/logonOp.a ... =FlightLog

http://localhost:8080/AwareIM/logonOp.a ... iarySystem

etc etc,

You can also insert the IP of the Aware Server machine in the URL (maybe you know that ?).

I presently host multiple published BSVs on a dedicated web server and use a separate URL to enable users to access their particular application.

It also makes updating the apps very easy - you can do all your development work in test mode and simply publish to your users when complete.

Thanks for that. I've tried it and know what to do. For whatever reason I thought "CRM' was one of those acronyms I know nothing about. I retired from this stuff over 5 years ago and swore I wouldn't do it again. Now I've been forced back and I don't recognize anything.
