SDN Logon Page

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have been looking about how to customize SAP Portal Logon page and I have found a lot of information to change the look and feel etc. I want to know if SDN use Portal and how can I integrate the logon fields into the anonymous content as SDN page. Could you give a clue about this subject?

Thanks in advance

Hi Erick, Thanks for you help

I created a new framework page for the anonymous content; in this framework I have included an iview for the logon page with authentication scheme anonymous. The purpose of this is to have the logon page as SDN page. On the other hand I have create a framework page for users authenticated and a desktop rule to change the framework page once the user log into Portal.

Right now the anonymous content look like SDN with the logon page in the navigation panel, but Once I log into Portal with a valid user, the Portal does not refresh the framework page and I have to press F5 to see the framework page for users authenticated witch not include the logon iview.

Thanks in advace

Hi Alexis,

to solve this problem I put <i>target="_top"</i> in form "logonForm".

The problem is: if logon fails, the logon page takes all page size and not only the space assigned to the iView i have created.

Any idea?

Just to let you know that this is a problem (the switching of desktops) that SAP development are aware of and I believe are in the process of resolving.

The issue is caused because the desktop URL is stored in a session attribute, so that once it finds out which desktop is to be used it stores this value in the session and then retrieves it from the session instead of looking up the rules.

To combat this type of thing we have created a J2EE servlet filter, and if the rules have changed, in your case the user is no longer anonymous, we simply set the attribute to be null. This then forces the portal to re-evaluate what desktop should be used.

If your case I guess you could do the same thing as part of the login process

I hope this helps
