    Description:
    How to automatically define that the default first web OPAC page when using PDS will be the login page?

    When PDS is not used the default first page is $alephe_root/www_f_eng/login
    When PDS is used the default first page is $alephe_root/www_f_eng/find-b

    How can this be changed to the PDS login page?

    Resolution:
    This can be done by the fillowing:

    1) Copy the file pds-login to pds-login-first.

    2) In pds-login-first change the following line:
    var url = '&server_pds?func=load-login&calling_system=aleph&institute=$0200&url=&pds_backlink?$0100';
    to:
    var url = '&server_pds?func=load-login&calling_system=aleph&institute=$0200&url=&pds_backlink?func=file&file_name=find-b';

    3) In $alephe_root/www_server.conf , define:
    setenv www_login "PDS-LOGIN-FIRST"

    4) Restart the server.

    Note: You can also define a different file name that you want to display after login. In any case, do not use variables as it will not work.
