Portal Logoff redirection URL

[Former Member]

Hi,

I want to redirect the URL to another page from the default log on page when the user logs off. I know we can change it in ume.logoff.redirect.url and give the desired URL. But the problem is we have two different sites and each sites should return to different screens once the logoff is clicked. So the URL cannot be maintained in this property. We have two mastheads for both this sites.

I tried to figure it out in the code. The URL to be mentioned is present in logOutComponent which is part of the jar file which comes with masthead. I cant change the desired URL in that component. Where can i change the URL to get the desired result?

Regards,

Hi,

You can do this by a simple modification in the LogOutComponent.java file.Search for the below code on the java file

String externalUrl = UMFactory.getProperties().get("ume.logoff.redirect.url");

Replace the above code with String externalUrl = "you own url";

Hope this will help you out.

Regards,

Harish.

Hi <name>,

I decompiled the "logOutComponent" .class and it containts the following code:

request.redirect(externalUrl);

} else

String URL = navigationService.getPortalURL(request, null);

request.redirect(URL);

}

}

{

}

}

As you can see this module just gets the property "ume.logoff.redirect.url", does an adittional check and then gives back this url..

Not that fancy..

My suggestion to you would be to edit the portalapp.xml, look for the component "default" and extend it with an additional component property called "MyCustomLogOffURL" for example. To do this just copy the allready excisting "Help URL" property and rename.

Example:

-

---

<property name="MyCustomLogOffURL" value="http://yourloggofurlforthismasthead.com">

<property name="plainDescription" value="My Custom Logoff URL" />

<property name="category" value="Navigation" />

</property>

-

---

Adding this property here makes you set it seperately for both the masterheads you use, because you can just set it in the Property editor of the PCD

In addition you now need to modify the "HeaderiView.jsp" a bit to use your custom parameter instead of the "logOutComponent".

To do that add the following initialisation at the beging of the jsp file:

-

---

final String MY_CUSTOM_LOG_OFF_URL = "MyCustomLogOffURL";

-

---

....and change the function GetLogoffURL so that it will look like this:

-

---

private String GetLogoffURL(IPortalComponentRequest request)

{

String value = (String)request.getNode().getValue(MY_CUSTOM_LOG_OFF_URL);

return value;

}

-

<h5>Never change the SAP component always create a copy and rename it to your own namespace!!!</h5>

Good Luck,
