Redirect login screen when session ended

chavez_ant

I'm running Actuate 11 and would like some advice on how best to do the following configuration. Right now, a user can run a report in our application, which will run BIRT reports by url, in a popup window. The reports sometimes include drill-through links. If a user ends the session, the drill-through link will result in an Actual login screen. We'd like to redirect this to our application's login screen or a page with a message on it.

Any tips, or pointing me in the right direction, on how to configure this, would help a lot. A quick search didn't come up with this info, but I will be checking again in the meantime.

Thanks!
A.C.

Hi chavez_ant,<br />
You could add a redirect statement to the login.jsp page. <br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
<%
response.sendRedirect("http://www.yourserver.com");
%>
</pre>
<br />
You can find login.jsp in [iServer dir]\servletcontainer\iportal\login.jsp<br />
Information console application is struts based, so you could also play with the struts configuration file (struts-config.xml) to change the control flow.<br />
<br />
I would also recommend implementing single sign on so your users dont need to login twice. See chapter 10 of the following document for learning how to and some sample code:<br />
