Using The URL To Pass UserID, Password & Environment
I have been working on an issue lately that we are having with our Employee Self-Service implementation. I’ll explain the details of that in a future post.
Anyway, in researching that issue I stumbled upon a solution in the Oracle Customer Connection site that I thought was pretty interesting. It’s titled "Environment as a parameter to the login screen". The reason I thought that it was interesting is that we use "parameterized URLs" to send users directly to our custom Employee Self-Service screens.
The thought of creating our own login screen or possible authentication proxie was kind of intriguing.
Ok, all you have to do is pass each parameter in the URL like the example below:
http://server:port/jde/servlet/com.jdedwards.runtime.virtual.LoginServlet?User=guest&Password=guest&Environment=JPY7333
It also works to direct the users to a specific application. In the following URL, the user "guest" will be directed to the application P550001, form W550001A & version VER001:
http://server:port/jde/HostedE1Servlet?User=guest&Password=guest&Environment=JPD811&
OID=P550001__W550001A_VER001&FormDSTmpl=&FormDSData=&
jdecloselink=http://server:port/&jdeCloseAppStacks=true
How do you use parameterized URLs? Please leave a comment.
