How to change the redirect URL for Login, Logout, and Session Timeout

Applies to

HCL Digital Experience 8.5 and higher

Introduction

If a user successfully logged in to your website, they will be redirected to another page (for example, the main landing page or welcome page). This redirection also applies when a user logs out or when their session times out.

This article describes the steps to change the redirect URL for Login, Logout, and Session Timeout.

Instructions

Refer to the following steps to change the redirect pages for Login, Logout, and Session Timeout.

Changing the Login and Logout redirect page

  1. Open a command prompt and navigate to directory <wp_profile_root>/PortalServer/config.

  2. Open the ConfigService.properties file with a text editor.

  3. In ConfigService.properties modify the Login redirect parameters as follows:

    # Default: true
#redirect.login     = true
#
#redirect.login.ssl =
#
#redirect.login.url = http://<domain>/wps/portal/Home/<url>

  4. Edit the Logout redirect parameters as follows:

    # Default: false
#redirect.logout = true
#
#redirect.logout.ssl =
#
#redirect.logout.url =http://<domain>/wps/portal/Home/<url>

  5. In the command prompt, navigate to the directory <wp_profile_root>\ConfigEngine.

  6. Run the following command:

    ./ConfigEngine.sh update-properties -DWasPassword=password
