Logout Redirection for MetaLib Guest Users - MetaLib Version 4
- Article Type: General
- Product: MetaLib
- Product Version: 4
Description:
What does www_v_lng/end-session file controls?
Resolution:
The end-session file under each instance controls the logout process for the MetaLib guest users.
This file can be configured to contain a redirection to a MetaLib module or to a hard-coded URL.
In version 4 the line responsible for the page re-direction appears twice within the end-session file - once for the setting where the Java Script is enabled and another - when it is disabled.
Example 1: Redirection to a hardcoded URL (the line that is used when Java Script is disabled starts with //Restart\\):
<html lang="//en\\">
<head>
<title>//MetaLib®\\ - //End Session\\ </title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="&server_css/&library/www_v_eng/metalib.css">
</head>
<body onload="window.location = 'http://www.destinationpage.com''">
<noscript>
<include>banner
<div id="sso">
//Restart\\ <a href="http://www.destinationpage.com">MetaLib Session\\</a>
</div>
</body>
</html>
You will probably need to change the text "MetaLib Session" to something else.
Example 2: Redirection to the default MetaLib module (the line that is used when Java Script is disabled starts with //Restart\\):
<html lang="//en\\">
<head>
<title>//MetaLib®\\ - //End Session\\ </title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="&server_css/&library/www_v_eng/metalib.css">
</head>
<body onload="window.location = '&server_vir?func='">
<noscript>
<include>banner
<div id="sso">
//Restart\\ <a href="&server_vir?func=">//MetaLib Session\\</a>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Example 3 - redirection to a specific MetaLib module, in this case to the MetaSearch:
html lang="//en\\">
<head>
<title>//MetaLib®\\ - //End Session\\ </title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="&server_css/&library/www_v_eng/metalib.css">
</head>
<body onload="window.location = '&server_vir?func=meta-1'">
<noscript>
<include>banner
<div id="sso">
//Restart\\ <a href="&server_vir?func=meta-1">//MetaLib Session\\</a>
</div>
</body>
</html>
