HTTPS Form-Based Login and redirect to HTTP-URL

[thomas_blas]

Hello all,

we are using on WebAS 6.20 an (SelfService) BSP-Application using HTTPS with the form-based login.

We also use a second (SelfService) BSP-Application using HTTP with anonymous login to reset the users password.

Now we display the link (http) to the password-reset-application like note 517860 in the form-based login screen.

Using this link the system calls an https-URL instead the http-URL and the user must logon to the system. This makes no sense, because the user doesn´t want to reset the password.

Do you know any solution that the system redirect to the http-URL using anonymous login ?

Thanks for your help

Hi,

Did you specify the full url or only the name of the app?

If you did the latter, your browser will think it's on the same server (thus https), which isn't (although being on the same machine).

I find it rather strange that the user needs to re logon. Is SSO configured?

Hello Eddy,

thank you for your answer.

I specify the name of the application, because the full url is too long to enter in the field.

The user starts the selfservice and must logon to use it. If the user can´t logon (Password forgotten ?) he can use the link to start the other application to reset the password. Therefore no login is necessary.

We don´t use SSO.

regards

Hi,

I don't understand why you put the URL of the password forgotten in a field. Which field? What's against putting a plain old HTML link with the full URL?

Hello,

you can generate an own logon-screen for BSP-Applications (see Note 517860).

To display (up to three) additional links at this generated logon-screen you must enter the relative or absolute path to the page / application for these links in specified fields.

I will try to do layout changes and enter the HTML link directly.

Hello,

I switched the second application to https. Now both applications are running under https and it works fine.

Thank you for your help.
