User Prompt on repository login?

Laserfiche Version 9 Administration Security
Updated December 3, 2014
asked on December 2, 2014 • Show version history

Is it possible in LF Client and/or Web Access to prompt the user must accept before entering the repository? 

 

For auditing purposes, a client of ours would like to have the ability in both situations that when the user logs in, they have to accept a prompt informing them of the auditing rules they need to remind the users of on a regular basis.

 

For Web Access, we are planning to modify the log-in page, so this is not a big deal if it's not built in functionality, but for the installed desktop client we are looking to find all possible solutions to ensure this will always appear each time if possible.

It's just a file, so there's no reason you couldn't bulk deploy it. You couldn't do it on the Server side though. You'd likely have to do this manually after updates are installed. Note that most hotfixes and service pack updates don't impact the login html file, although full maintenance releases and up probably would. If you're already deploying those releases in a bulk manner, you could have this run after it (although you'd likely want to ensure it doesn't need to be updated as well in that case).

And yeah, this isn't really a great approach, but that's where the 'definitely not considered supported' aspect comes into play I'm afraid.

It's not really possible to have a prompt appear that would show up, however the desktop client login page itself is an exposed html file. You could conceivably add text to that page indicating them of this similar to what you describe for Web Access - although of course you'd need to redo it any time an update or new version updates that html file.

You could conceivably also change the desktop shortcut so it points to a homemade 'confirmation' UI that would then launch the Client. That would also require removing the normal shortcuts at updates.

Needless to say both of these approaches should be considered unsupported, but they may provide methods to accomplish your needs here.

would we be able to change the login page from the server side? The thing is, we would like it to always appear. if we need to update it on a workstation by workstation basis, or the user may be able to search for laserfiche and open the client without the prompt, that doesnt provide consistent results. 

 

Would we be able to wrap the new login screen for the client into an installer that would be able to be rolled-out to workstations when performing updates? or would it have to be done after updates are installed?
