how to bring up a start URI after APM full webtop login?

Michael, have you considered customizing a message box as your landing page?

thanks for the reply. exactly how do i do that?

 

 

are you refering using APM advance customization and embed another HTML page inside the existing full webtop page?

 

 

thanks

 

First another question. I gathered from another post that this is for a landing page. If that's the case, would the landing page come before the webtop and then link to the webtop?

 

 

oh, you must be referring to adding a message box after the resource assign in the VPE and instead of displaying a simple message, i could display complex HTML code.

 

 

the problem with that is: the landing page has multiple internal links which are translated by APM is the landing page is configured as portal access resource. if i just copy the HTML code into the message box, the links won't be translated by APM. if i use the already translated equivalent of the internal links (ie, [domain]/f5-w-xxxxx/index.html), these links will kill my currently user remote session

 

 

is there a way the get around that?

 

 

thanks

yes. this landing page comes before the full webtop.

 

 

so basically the scenario i am trying to accomplish is this: there is a intranet landing page (e.g. landingpage.company.com) that all user should see after loggin into APM. and depends on the user's AD group, there is different resources such as portal access/remote desktop and so on available to that users.

 

 

because when a user logs into APM, he only gets either a portal access webtop or full webtop, i have a problem:

 

if i configure the intranet landing page landingpage.company.com as the portal access webtop, user would not have access to different resources depending on AD group memebership.

 

if i configure a full webtop and assign that to the user after login, user will only see the full webtop listing all the resources he is entitiled to but he can not see landingpage.company.com

 

 

this is why i am trying to find a way to redirect user from the full webtop to landingpage.company.com after loggin in.

 

 

so far i have not been been to do that after trying a number of approaches including writing irules.

 

 

would greatly appreciate any suggestions...

 

 

thanks

 

I've worked all morning and came up with this iRule

when ACCESS_POLICY_COMPLETED {
    set sid [ACCESS::session data get "session.user.sessionid"]
    log accesscontrol.local1.notice "01490000:7: $sid: ---Event ACCESS_POLICY_COMPLETED Fired---"

    switch [ACCESS::session data get "session.policy.result"] {
        "allow" {
            if { [ACCESS::session data get session.assigned.webtop] starts_with "/Common/" } {
                ACCESS::respond 302 Location "[ACCESS::session data get session.server.network.protocol]://[ACCESS::session data get session.server.network.name][ACCESS::session data get session.server.landinguri]"
        }
    }
}
