I have a signon screen with several parameters I would like to pass to the fex that's executed upon successful login.


The IBIWF_action parm value is"WF_SIGNON".

The WF_SIGNON_MESSAGE parm value is "/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_focexec=PROGRAM1".

It seems the other parameters in the form are not passed to PROGRAM1.

My solution is to use JavaScript to modify the WF_SIGNON_MESSAGE parm - something like this:
document.frmLogin.WF_SIGNON_MESSAGE.value = 
"/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_focexec=PROGRAM1" +
'&CAT=' + document.frmLogin.CAT[document.frmLogin.CAT.selectedIndex].value;
Is this the only way, or is this old technology?

It seems very odd that this would be the method.

Francis,

We do pass other parameters using a temp file. The file is created by the user profile, and the user profile is created dynamically on successful login.

Hope it helps.

Lusheng,

Yes, that is one way.

I was hoping for an explanation from IBI as to why WF Signon does not pass the other parameters to the URL in WF_SIGNON_MESSAGE - after all, I am calling WebFOCUS.

Thanks.
