NOTE:

You can define the names of the files other than the main authentication page files. The file names and
directory names are case-insensitive.

Rules on page requests

The local portal server supports only Post and Get requests.

Get requests are used to get the static files in the authentication pages and allow no recursion. For
example, if file Logon.htm includes contents that perform Get action on file ca.htm, file ca.htm

cannot include any reference to file Logon.htm.

Post requests are used when users submit username and password pairs, log on the system, and log
off the system.

Rules on Post request attributes

1.

Observe the following requirements when editing a form of an authentication page:

{

An authentication page can have multiple forms, but there must be one and only one form
whose action is logon.cgi. Otherwise, user information cannot be sent to the local portal server.

{

The username attribute is fixed as PtUser, and the password attribute is fixed as PtPwd.

{

Attribute PtButton is required to indicate the action that the user requests, which can be Logon
or Logoff.

{

A logon Post request must contain PtUser, PtPwd, and PtButton attributes.

{

A logoff Post request must contain the PtButton attribute.

2.

Authentication pages logon.htm and logonFail.htm must contain the logon Post request.
The following example shows part of the script in page logon.htm.

User name:

maxlength=64>

Password :

maxlength=32>

onclick="form.action=form.action+location.search;>

3.

Authentication pages logonSuccess.htm and online.htm must contain the logoff Post request.
The following example shows part of the script in page online.htm.
