Pre-logon inspection redirect to pages in firepass sandbox

Hi all

 

 

Ive been having trouble with settting up a page in the sandbox.

 

 

I'm using the normal firepass logon page with pre-logon inspection.

 

 

The user will get and "accept terms of use" decision box with options for "yes", "close" and "view terms of use".

 

 

When they click on view terms of use they need to be redirected to a page that gives them the info.

 

 

The problem is getting the page terms.html to work from the sandbox. I have copied the fil to the sandbox but cannot access it.

 

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

 

Any help owuld be appreciated.

  • thx Mike

     

     

    The problem is not the decision box. I got that to work. The problem is the webpage in the sandbox.

     

     

    I got the html copied to the sandbox, and it seems I can access when signed-in into the webdav on the sandbox. But from outside the redirect to that page does not work. I can however get the redirect working to any other page.

  • From what I read you are talking about pre-logon so you are not authenticated to load data from the sandbox. There's nothing to stop you serving the content from any other server which the user can get to if that helps?

     

     

    Another way is do you need to do this with a postive acceptance. Can't you just have a discalimer on the login page along the lines of...

     

    "This is a private system by logging into this you accept that you are authorised to access and agree with the company terms and conditions regarding system access."

  • Hi Albert,

     

     

    Just thinking about this again. When you say "But from outside the redirect to that page does not work. " how are you actually calling that? So you're probably accessing using a URL like https://firepass.mycompany.com to get to the FirePass and when you say that you're trying to redirect to another page how are you doing that - what happens (anything?) and what the format of the URL? You can serve graphics into the logon page from the sandbox at that point so I guess you should be able to serve a page by calling something like https://firepass.mycompany.com/sandbox/terms.html into a new window as Mike suggests.

     

     

    Otherwise have you looked at what can be done with the .inc files where the code gets inserted into the code for the front page? You can write HTML code in there and I guess you would from there be able to call another page in a new window. Maybe you can show us a bit more about what you're trying to achieve if you've not made any progress?

     

     

    Regards,

  • Hi

     

     

    That is exactly what i'm doing. I redirect from the pre-logon decison box rule outcome to the page in the sandbox, but the page http;//firepass.xyz.com/sandbox/terms.html is not accesable. I thought about it some more. Will the page be available to unauthenticated users from outside?

  • Hi Albert,

     

     

    Slightly worryingly I find that I can do just that, open an HTML page direct from my sandbox without having passed any security. I notice that above you have http; rather than http: - hopefully that's just a typo in your post and not what you're actually using?

     

     

    I don't want to disclose the URL that we use for our FirePass on the forum but email me at "kcs1503aolcom" if you want to discuss further offline?

     

     

    Regards,

  • Hi Kevin

     

     

    Yes it was a typo and I also thought about the security.

     

     

    I'd rather go through all the red tape of having the page added to the company's website with links to it.

     

     

    Already in the process, just thought I could do it quicker myself.

     

     

    Thanks for all the replies
