New here and new to iMIS, but not dev or .net.
Anyhow, I am working on a clients site whereas a user would go to their site (in this case, it is still beta = beta.ewiconnect.com) and if a member, should click on the "member login" in the upper right corner of the site. Once the login info is entered and validated, it should then take the member to the "members only" page (in this case: http://beta.ewiconnect.com/ewiconnect/Members_Only/ewiconnect/Members_Only/Index.aspx ). What is happening though is that after a member logs in, it just redirects the member back to the home page, the beta.ewiconnect.com.
So being new to iMIS, I went through and looked at the code and was looking to see what was going on. Even though in the iMIS setup, it does point to the members login (URL above), the behavior just takes to the default.aspx. So the thought there was I code code something up, but then that would be bandaiding the issue with IBO and not necessarily correcting the issue properly. Correct? With that said, I could really use some input on resolving this issue if possible.
Thanks much.
A few options
I have done this differently for varoius clients depending on what works best for their requirements. Here are a few ways to handle this (and I'm sure there are other ways to do it too):
- For one client, I created a custom web control that replaces the default login/logout control and it injects a "ReturnURL" parameter into the querystring of the login page so the user will be directed to that ReturnURL when they click "login". (the reason we did it this way for this client is because we needed it to handle both French and English sites)
- For another client, I created a very simple web part that I dropped on the default page and simply redirects the user to a department page depending on their Customer Type in iMIS. This was very little code to do - it's just a simple Response.Redirect.
- For yet another client I put a custom control on the login.aspx page that handles single sign-on and bypasses the login page if they had already authenticated on SharePoint.
Another option would be to override the iMIS login control and add your own logic to it.
Feel free to email me if you would like more details on any of the approaches I have used in the past.
