Multiple Login Pages for a livelink instance

I have been told only one Livelink login page per instance. Has anyone found a work-around or is it just impossible?

If you mean you would like different people to see to different login pages, how would the system know who they were before they had logged in so that it could provide the correct login page? If you were using multiple DNS names for the Livelink server each group could access Livelink using a different URL and a customisation could be performed to serve different login pages based on this.Dave Kerrigan

You can create different login pages as normal HTML page of your web server. So you need to give people different URLs to point to the different login pages.

Message from Dave Kerrigan via eLinkHans,With this approach would an additional mechanism be required so thatredirects to the login page work correctly. E.g. user enters the url...?func=ll&objId=2982&objAction=browse&sort=name (this may have been abookmark) if they are not already logged in they would be taken to the loginpage.The other thing to consider, which is related is the use of emailnotifications, the links in the emails would again cause redirection to login.Dave Kerrigan====Message from Hans Stoop via eLinkYou can create different login pages as normal HTML page of your web server.So you need to give people different URLs to point to the different loginpages.Hans Stoop

Message from Sean M Alderman via eLinkOne of the things, I've been looking at doing is to implement somethinglike this for different Livelink Domains, so users can go to a speciallivelink host for each domain instead of having to fill in their domainname.Wouldn't filling in the hidden fields of the login form like so work? -for a special login page? For my purposes, I would make the domainfield hidden and pupulate it based on the domain name the login page isfor.On Mon, 2002-04-22 at 05:19, eLink Discussion: Development Discussionwrote:> RE RE Multiple Login Pages for a livelink instance> Posted by eLink on 04/22/2002 05:19 AM> > Message from Dave Kerrigan via eLink> > > Hans,> > With this approach would an additional mechanism be required so that> redirects to the login page work correctly.

Message from Dave Kerrigan via eLinkA couple of questions?1. Would the use of NextUrl result in the user always being taken to theirPersonal Workspace, even if their request was for another area of the systemand they were redirected to the login page?2. Would the population of the domain in the login page be dynamic, if sousing what technology (e.g. weblingo)?A fairly straight-forward customization that could be provided by Open Textprofessional services would be to override the existing login page using thePS modules HTML Map or Profiles. If multiple DNS names were created to mapto the IP of the Livelink server the new login page could be given theintelligence to work out from the DNS name that the user has used to accessthe site which alternative login page should be used, these implemented aswebscripts.As mentioned on my previous posting the email notifications would also needmodification, whereas by default it uses the single fully qualified urlconfigured in the admin pages to build the links on email notifications, itwould need to do this based on the domain of the user for whom the email isbeing sent.Dave Kerrigan-----Original Message-----From: knowledge@opentext.com [mailto:knowledge@opentext.com]On Behalf OfeLink Discussion: Development DiscussionSent: 22 April 2002 15:24To: eLink RecipientSubject: Re=?ISO-8859-1?B?UkUgIFJFICBNdWx0aXBsZSBMb2dpbiBQYWdlcyBmb3IgYSBsaXZlbGlu?==?I SO-8859-1?B?ayBpbnN0YW5jZQ==?=Re=?ISO-8859-1?B?UkUgIFJFICBNdWx0aXBsZSBMb2dpbiBQYWdlcyBmb3IgYSBsaXZlbGlu?==?ISO-8859-1?B?ayBpbnN0YW5jZQ==?=Posted by eLink on 04/22/2002 10:24 AMMessage from Sean M Alderman via eLinkOne of the things, I've been looking at doing is to implement somethinglike this for different Livelink Domains, so users can go to a speciallivelink host for each domain instead of having to fill in their domainname.Wouldn't filling in the hidden fields of the login form like so work? -for a special login page?
