05Q2 authentication-less desktop via gateway
Hello all,
I enabled the authentication-less desktop to be accessed through the gateway (added /portal/dt to non-authenticated url's and restarted the gateway).
However, I would now like that when users access the gateway URL, they are redirected to the authentication-less desktop. When a user now accesses the gateway, he get's the access manager login page...
Do you know of a way to do that? I would expect that the core authentication module (under service configuration) needs to know that users should be redirected to the portalserver /portal/dt instead of the accessmanager login page.
Thanks for your input.
Regards, Robert

This is kind of tricky ... you can do that by setting the "DefaultSuccessLoginURL" in amConsole to be http://portal:port/portal/dt which is your portal desktop.
Login to AdminConsole -->Identity Management -->Services -->Core -->Default SuccessLogin URL.
If you already have some entries, remove all of them and set the portalURL (http://<portal>/portal/dt) only.
However, this is also used by the policy agents, I think so there may be some undesired sideeffects. Watch out, Jerry

Hello Jerry, thanks for your response.
My intention is for users to access the gateway URL (http://gateway/) and are redirected to the anonymous portal (https://gateway/http://portal:8080/portal/dt). At this time no authentication has taken place.
I think the default succes login url does not work in this situation because the user is not authenticated yet. The user gets the AM login page. I would expect that the gateway has an option to redirect the user to a specific page. The standard success url already points to the portal desktop. I will try to add the gateway URL, see what happens :-)
But is sure is tricky, because in the situation where the portal infra contains more then one portal server the success url should be able to point to more then one portal server. It isn't possible to use variable names for the portal url, is it?

Robert, There is another place which I miss out last time. Go into amconsole using amadmin. Click top Service Configuration tab, scroll down to Platform and click. Find "Login Service URL:" and put annonymous url you wish and click Save button. Rebounce the server and check result whether you get what you want. if not, let me know. Cheers, Jerry

I had the same problem and added a simple redirect to /portal/dt in Login.jsp, which is located here:/WEBSERVERROOT/https-SERVER/is-web-apps/services/config/auth/defaulthth, Chris
