dashboard login redirect question

I'm trying to figure out a way to change the login page of our dashboard login page to integrate both our production and development login pages into one. I basically need to figure out a way with say the use of a drop down (containing either development or production as choices) to redirect the user to the appropriate environment without having the hassle of going to two different login pages.

We basically dont want users creating reports in dashboard with production data until they design them properly so I'm setting them all up in both environments.

Any help/suggestions would be great, thanks!

My other question is how to create two different dashboard login pages on one server. In addition to the page I mentioned in my post above we wanted to keep our original dashboard login pages for run users.

Yeah that I know, I wanted the login page to redirect them to the appropriate server after they are logged in if possible.

Is it possible to create a complete seperate page from dashboard which would send the user id / password variables into the dashboard login pages and have it auto-submit or something?

I have done something like what you require. Create a copy of WORP_login.jsp in the same webapps folder and then modify the copy to include a drop down box that when selected, javascript changes the form ACTION to the select box value which contains the server that you want to logon to - ie. instead of the default form ACTION "/ibi_apps/Controller", it should change it to "http://servername/ibi_apps/Controller/".

Just a word of caution here. Francis' suggestion will work MOST of the time. However, if you have clustered WebFOCUS servers, or some other non-standard installation, then this may not work. If you notice very sporatic invalid logins or being re-prompted for credentials, then this will be the culprit.

Thats what I was looking for! We only have a server for production and another for development. Thanks guys.

Do you guys know the answer to my other question: which is two use two different versions of the worp_login.jsp page?

Basically a http://server/ibi_apps/bid-login2 or something. If not I will just end up using the new login page (with the dropdown) on my development machine.

.eric, you can have multiple login pages. I suggested making a copy - that's a second login page. Perhaps I misunderstood your question.
