I need to change the URL used when I click the logoff button on my dashboard. I don't want my users to be sent to the apps page. Everything I've read says to select the group view and click on settings. Then change the redirect setting. Unfortunately I don't see a redirect setting.

How can I update the logoff setting?

Hi Craig,

Try this :

On WebFOCUS client server in the folder ibi\WebFOCUS53\worp\conf
edit the file bid-config.xml.


Change :

  <response-redirect request-context="logoff-success">
    <context-redirect url="&WELCOME;"/>
</response-redirect>


in

  
<response-redirect request-context="logoff-success">
    < !--<context-redirect url="&WELCOME;"/>-->
   <x-redirect url="http://www.google.com"/>
 </response-redirect>

Hope it helps a bit,

P.

Don't forget to recycle your web-apps service (e.g. Tomcat or New Atlanta etc.) to get the change brought into use.

Pete, Thanks for your help. Not sure I would've found this file otherwise.

Tony, thanks for the reminder about bouncing the server. I'm sure I would've thought about that (after 3 or 4 unsuccessful attempts!) lol

Hi,
The one Pete suggested will redirect us to the main page or whatever URL we are mentioned. But my question is, if we have two groups then we will have two different URL's. I want each group to point corresponding URL when we logoff. Can anybody let me know how to do that?

Hope I put my question in a right way. If you need further clarification, please let me know.

Thanks

When I suggest a configuration change, I usually point to the pertinent documentation. The Dashboard Logoff Window customization is described in the

WebFOCUS Managed Reporting Administrator's Manual
(Version 7 Release 6.1 and Higher) > Chapter 6: Customizing Dashboard > Customizing the Logoff Window.

quote:
When users log off from a view in Dashboard, they are redirected to the Welcome Page by default. You can customize the logoff window for specific views, or all views, to direct users to another page within Dashboard or a Web page outside of Dashboard. For example, when a user clicks the Logoff link in the Dashboard banner, you can have your company's Web site open.


Two procedures are described:

- How to Customize the Logoff Window for Specific Views

- How to Customize the Logoff Window for All Views

Yes I agree with you but this feature not available in Webfocus version 716. I think this is the new feature in Webfocus 761 and higher.
Correct me, If I am wrong.

Is there any work around for this?

For releases below v7.6 I would play around with the "logoff-success" settings in bid-config.xml.

The documentation in 7.1 states that you comment this out:
<response-redirect request-context="logoff-success">
<!--
<context-redirect url="&REDIRECT;" hrefs-per-row="5">
<href src="&MPV;" text="mpvHREFTextShort" context-asset="true"
localize-text="true"/>
<href src="&GBV;" text="gbvHREFTextShort" context-asset="true"
localize-text="true"/>
<href src="&LOGIN;" text="loginHREFTextShort" context-asset="true"
localize-text="true"/>
<href src="&INDEX;" text="indexHREFTextShort" context-asset="true"
localize-text="true"/>
</context-redirect>
-->
</response-redirect>

and replace it with this:
<x-redirect url="my_url"/>


Since it appears &GBV (view name) is a variable available in bid-config.xml, it shouldn't take too much hard work to construct "my_url" using the view name - some experimentation required.

I have set




it work perfectly the first time. Shows the login page when logoff is pressed as intended.

But when I login second time, my dashboard shows a blank screen and if press F5 (Refresh), it displays the content.

I want to redirect my users to the group view login page when their session times out. These posts are for when logoff is clicked. Any idea how to do this on timeout?
