APM, and post-authenticated redirect to SharePoint content.

Probable Newbie Question -- seeking advice on how to approach:

 

UserA working in the depths of SharePoint emails userB a long link, something like:

 

https://sharepointsite.net/page.html?=possiblyLongStringOfStuff

 

UserB clicks the link. The vServer for sharepointsite.net has an access profile attached, APM access policy pops up a credentialing window, does its thing, and post-authentication redirects the user to a particular Ending.

 

Is it possible to capture the "page.html?=possiblyLongStringOfStuff" portion in a variable within an APM iRule, and then use that variable within a customized APM Ending?

 

Can folks recommend an educational approach on gaining enough insight on how to approach this type of problem?

    hi Joe,

     

    let me know if im wrong but you want userb to click on the link, they get a login page and then allowed to the URL that was emailed?

     

    you can do this on the fly using session variables within resource items such as portal access.

     

    this may a good start for you...

      You're not wrong. This is a good start. So, based upon the two answers, I simply need to create an Ending on my Authentication/Successful branch that has the URL field populated with %{session.server.landinguri}. Trying that....
