Redirecting to a URL of type www.abc.com/login.do

Hi All

I have a requirement in which there is a site let say www.xyz.com that is developed in Mojo.In the home page of the site there is login form user control.

Once I enter the user credentials in the login form and submit ,the redirection should happen to a url (www.abc.com/login.do) .Also the user credentials should be passed along with the url(www.abc.com/login.do) so that it can be authenticated for access pages of www.abc.com.

As www.xyz.com made on mojo and hosted on IIS it doesn't understand request of type www.abc.com/login.do

(I have tried using Response.Redirect but it doesn't work for this type of request. Second thing is the other site( www.abc.com) is hosted on Apache Server(a simple JSP and servlet application)

Also I could not use href and append with parameters as they will cause security issues.
Is there any setting in Mojo which can help me to acheive this.Please help me and suggest me options to acheive this.

Thanks in Advance

Regards

Pravin

Hi Pravin,

I answered a similar question here. It is possible to force a redirect but as explained in the linked thread it is not advisable. And for sure mojoportal is not going to forward secure credentials as query string params to some other url that would make both sites totally insecure. It is always challenging to integrate 2 systems that each have their own authentication, I don't have any easy solution suggestion to offer you.

Best,

Joe
