Weblink Log out issue?

WebLink
Updated May 22, 2014
asked on May 20, 2014

Hello Everyone

 

I have setup Weblink to single sign on (login with windows account automatically).   When the user clicks on Log out, the page goes to log out screen but the box for the user name and password is grayed out and keep the original log in credentials.  You can not enter another domain account or password to get into weblink.      Some users will share a pc to access weblink, and I don't see any setting in the weblink utility concerning this.     How can I remedy this?

 

Thanks

As you have seen, if you have WebLink set up to automatically log in, users cannot manually enter credentials.

 

To allow users to change to manual login, you could add an additional Repository Connection to the same repository using Windows Authentication, but leave the "Automatically log in" box unchecked.  Users can then logout, select the manual login repository, and enter their credentials. Make sure you have different Display Names for the two connections to the same repository, like "YourRepoName - automatic login"  and "YourRepoName - manual login" so that the users can tell which repository to select.

 

If you leave the default DBID (database ID) unchanged, then users who only want to use automatic login will not see any changes.

 

Edit: as Wes and Farzali have noted below, to see the selector you must have "no default" selected, which means that users will always have to select a database to login. It is possible to change the CSS file for WebLink to change this behavior.

Would the creation of another repository require an additional license?

I have tried this setup in 8.2.2 but when I click on the Logout link  I am taken to the "login.aspx" page which still only shows the grayed out username password box with no option to choose a repository. I believe the reason why is because the link in the Logout link button has the variable "dbid=0" which is the default one. If I change this value to "1" then the manual login box shows along with the repository list dropdown.

 

Also, I have not changed any variables in the aspx code:

 

<weblink:logininterface8 id="TheLoginInterface" style="z-index: 105" runat="server" ShowRepositoryDropdown="True" ShowRepositoryBox="True" ShowServerBox="True" ShowUsernameBox="True">

Thanks for replying... Brianna you solution worked for me.  

 

I also had problem with dbid ID.  You need to select "no default".  This will give you two option one with user name inserted for SSO and another selection that you will need to log in manually.

My experience by selecting "no default" is that you lose the ability to have WebLink automatically login.

My apologies: I thought I was working off of the default login.aspx page for WebLink, but I see now that there must have been a customization. I will update this thread with a simple customization (likely in the CSS file) that will allow you to both (1) see the database selector after logging out but (2) still has a default, allowing users to log in without having to select a database.

I do not believe you can use the Login Automatically.  You can still use Windows Authentication but if you check the Login Automatically then it will always try to authenticate using the existing account that is logged into the machine.
