Logged user by default in web access to simulate public access to documents

Web Client Ideas Version 9

asked on February 17, 2016

Hello, what we are trying to achive is to simulate a public access (read-only) to documents (viewing laserfiche documents in the document viewer in a browser tab using direct links) while using a permanetly logged user, allowing users (two at the same time, top) to see a document without using any credentials.

Is it possible to have a permanetly logged in user in Web Access? so when the direct link is clicked the document will load without asking for credentials.

I know Web Link does this perfectly, but we are trying to emulate this with Web Access.

I haven't tested this, but it should just be something like:

document.getElementById('TheLoginInterface_UserBox').value = 'username';
document.getElementById('TheLoginInterface_PasswordBox').value = 'password';
document.forms['Form1'].submit();

Web Access doesn't have any built-in support for unauthenticated users. There are a few things you could do to make this work, for instance you could add some javascript to Login.aspx to automatically enter credentials into the input boxes and click the "Sign In" button.

Is there an specific place in the Login.aspx where I should put this code? I`m testing it and I`m not sure im placing it right, because it`s not working.

It works now. For future references this is the code I added to the Login.aspx right before </head>


<script type="text/javascript">
  window.onload = function() { 
    var obj=document.getElementById("<%= LoginButton.ClientID %>"); 
    document.getElementById("<%= UserNameBox.ClientID %>").value = "UserName"; 
    document.getElementById("<%= PasswordBox.ClientID %>").value = "UserPassword";
    obj.click();
  };
</script>

Thanks Brian.

Out of curiosity, can you elaborate on the use case for this?

We were testing the true difference between Web Access and WebLink. And after testing this out, we figured WebLink is better for public access even after trying to simulate public access with Web Access.
