Log off MRE and Dashboard redirect to a custom page

For Dashboard, look for "Customizing the Logoff Window" in the Managed Reporting Administrator's Manual.

You'll be playing with the bid-config.xml file in the Webfocus/worp/conf directory.

They may be a method for MRE as well in the same manual.

Thanks Francis. I was able to change it for BID but still looking for a way in MRE. For BID I changed the following file

\ibi\WebFOCUS762\worp\conf\bid-config.xml

  <response-redirect request-context="logoff-success">
<x-redirect url="http://google.com"/>
</response-redirect>

Sayed, i can't find it either.
I can show you how to change the text on the MRE logon page, how to change the images in both the MRE signon and signoff pages...just gave presentation on that at FUSE New England.
but i can't find the exit page either.

Sayed,

Have a look at the file \ibi\WebFOCUS76\ibi_html\workbnch\mr_ie.htm under the function show_logoff().

That may or may not be the area that you need to look at but it's a start!

Tony,

Well Done (as always)...

Also in that same folder is MRSIGNOFF.htm which is called at the end.

Tom,

Not that clever really as all it required was to hover over the logoff link (with the status bar visible) and seeing that a call would be made to javascript:show_logoff(). A quick search later and I was editing the file to place an alert to prove the file and location.

Easy really, when you think about what you need

Tom, we suspect that mrsignoff is an artifact.
we suspect this for 2 reasons
1) the exact text in the .htm page is
'thank you for using mre' doesn't appear on the logoff page, but more importantly, there is no such text in the language translation file .
2) when we change that text slightly, and hit the logoff button, nothing untoward happens. We would expect a crash. Therefore we suspect that this mrsignoff is not being executed anywhere.
We cannot find , in 76, the page that definitely *is* being executed. Further we suspect that whatever page is being executed, is bypassing the language translation file altogether, b/c changing the exact 'Thank you...' phrase in the xlation file seems to have no affect whatsoever on the logoff screen. And similarly, clicking the 'Return..' link similarly bypasses the xlation file and reverts to the standard text. We've opened a case to ask for help from CSS, and we'll post the results. We, too, as Sayed, would like to bypass that logoff page altogether.

Hi Susannah,

The reason I added the comment was:

function showLogoff()
{
document.location.replace( CGIPath+CGIName+"?IBIMR_action=MR_SIGNOFF"+"&IBIMR_Random="+Math.random());
}

which IS different from my previous post.

Apologize for the confusion...

yep, but that's a function, not a page.
and i can't figure out where that is, Can you?
a .jsp i would guess. but i can't find it. and i'm getting exhausted tracing dead ends...
as, i suspect, Sayed is, as well.

Susannah,

The redirection would have to be decyphered from these JS vars -

CGIPath+CGIName+"?

Which, here, equates to /ibi_apps/WFServlet.

The partial URL being /ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIMR_action=MR_SIGNOFF&IBIMR_Random=0.06444522045025103
