[SOLVED] WF 7.7.05 - Disable Dashboard URL for decommissioned MRE

November 09, 2017, 01:17 PM

We have decommissioned an MRE environment on a WebFOCUS client server.

I would like to disable the Dashboard Login URL

http://hostname[:port]/ibi_apps/bid-login

Currently the user can navigate to this URL and receive an Invalid Login screen, with these links: Public Views, Login, View Builder Login, Home.

How do I disable the Dashboard Login URL? I also don't want them to see any of the links on the Invalid Login screen.

If there isn't a WF way to do it.

You may be able to put an alias in your application server (tomcat) to push the url to another location and page.

Do you want any WF URL's to work and just disable this one?

I need to have WF URLs that execute fexes on the reporting server to work. I'd like all URLs to MRE and BID to redirect to a single HTML page. I think I can achieve some of this by editing the web.xml file, though I don't know if it must be a jsp file or can it be an html file...

The solution I was thinking of will not work then and I don't know the answer about the jsp either.. Sorry!

I'm sure this information won't be of help, but I have figured out what I need to do.

There are six files to modify. The modification is simple – delete all lines of JSP and HTML code and replace with a few lines of HTML code that includes a frame containing a simple HTML file that contains suitable text.

This is a list of files that require modification:

B.I. Dashboard Index page

http://localhost:8080/ibi_apps/Controller

redirects to

http://localhost:8080/ibi_apps/worp/jsp/WORP_Index.jsp

File to modify:
C:\ibi\WebFOCUS77\webapps\webfocus\worp\jsp\WORP_Index.jsp

B.I. Dashboard Public Views and Group Views

http://localhost:8080/ibi_apps/worp/jsp/WORP_Views.jsp?action=mpv&

and

http://localhost:8080/ibi_apps/worp/jsp/WORP_Views.jsp?action=gbv&

File to modify:
C:\ibi\WebFOCUS77\webapps\webfocus\worp\jsp\WORP_Views.jsp

B.I. Dashboard Login page and B.I. Dashboard View Builder page

http://localhost:8080/ibi_apps/bid-login?

and

http://localhost:8080/ibi_apps/bid-login?WORP_REQUEST_TYPE=WORP_CUSTOMIZE_VERIFY&

File to modify:
C:\ibi\WebFOCUS77\webapps\webfocus\worp\jsp\WORP_Login.jsp

WebFOCUS Home

http://localhost:8080/ibi_apps/

or

http://localhost:8080/ibi_apps/homepage.jsp

or

http://localhost:8080/ibi_apps/welcome.jsp

Files to modify:
C:\ibi\WebFOCUS77\webapps\webfocus\welcome.jsp
C:\ibi\WebFOCUS77\webapps\webfocus\homepage.jsp

Managed Reporting (Applet) Interface

http://localhost:8080/ibi_apps/login/mr/mr_login.jsp?

File to modify:
C:\ibi\WebFOCUS77\webapps\webfocus\login\mr\mr_login.jsp

The JSP and HTML in each of the above mentioned files was replaced with:

<html>
    <head>
        <title>Managed Reporting</title>
        <!-- 2017-11-14 - MRE Decommisioning - Francis Mariani - HTML added for message -->
    </head>
    <frameset rows="500,*" frameborder="no" style="border:0;" framespacing="0">
        <frame src="/ibi_html/myfolder/my_message.htm" scrolling="yes" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" framespacing="0" frameborder="no"  noresize>
    </frameset>
</html>

my_message.htm contains a logo and appropriate text.

Additionally, to provide WebFOCUS administrators access to components that are not decommissioned, I created a clone of the WebFOCUS home page:

On my PC:

http://localhost:8080/ibi_apps/homepage_mine.jsp

or

http://localhost:8080/ibi_apps/welcome_mine.jsp

Files to create:
C:\ibi\WebFOCUS77\webapps\webfocus\welcome_mine.jsp
C:\ibi\WebFOCUS77\webapps\webfocus\homepage_mine.jsp
