When selecting the Login Forms option, the login forms table appears, which allows you to add/edit the list of URLs or forms, where the user name should be collected from. Clicking the Add or Edit button opens the dialog with the following fields (show table).
Table 2- 5 Add / Edit fields
| Radio Button | Field | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Login | Field Name | The name of the username text box in the Web page. Consult the Web page administrator/developer, if applicable, to get this name. Alternatively you can find it by right clicking the mouse near the field and selecting "View source" from the popup menu. The structure of the HTML page should be like the following: <form name="loginForm"… action= …> … User Name: <input type="text" name="myUsernameField"> … </form> The value you need to put in the "Field Name" field in this example is myUsernameField. Note that the input type is "text". Another way to get the field name: copy to the browser's address bar the following command, that should fill all the text boxes in the page with their name and the name of the form. javascript:var frms = document.forms ;for (var formInd=0 ; formInd <frms.length ; formInd++) {var form = frms[formInd];var elems = form.elements;for (var ind=0; ind< elems.length; ind++ ){var field = elems(ind);if (field.type == "text")field.value="Field=" +field.name + " form=" + form.name;}};void(0); | |
| URI | To save the time of looking for the field in all pages, specify the URI of the login page, e.g.
| ||
| Form Name | If the URI is dynamically changing, or you can reach the login page using many URIs, you can mention instead (or in addition) the form name in which the user name field exists. You can find the form name in the same way mentioned above; in this example the value for the form name would be loginForm. | ||
| Logout | URI | Specify the URI of the logout page that after visiting makes sure that the user is no longer signed in , e.g. /signOut.jsp. All pages in a session since visiting the login page are marked as visited by the found user. Pages visited after this URI are no longer related to the user. |
