About the Logon Page

When you start the Natural Web I/O Interface client or Natural for Ajax in the browser, a logon page appears. The entries in this logon page depend on the settings in your configuration file (see Managing the Configuration File for the Session).

This ドキュメント covers the following topics:


Starting a Natural Application from the Logon Page

In order to start a Natural application from the logon page, you enter one of the URLs listed below inside your browser. Different names and locations are used for the logon pages, depending on the application/web server and the type of client that you are using.

Examples of Logon Pages

For each session definition that has been configured in the configuration file, an entry appears on the logon page. If the user selects the corresponding entry, only those parameters that were not preconfigured in the configuration file need to be specified in the logon page in order to start the application. Usually, you will preconfigure all connection parameters except user name and password.

The look of the logon page depends on the type of client that you are using.

Changing the Password in the Logon Page

Currently, this functionality is only available for Natural for UNIX, Natural for OpenVMS and Natural for Windows.

The following information applies when the fields for entering a user ID and a password appear on the logon page. These fields do not appear when user ID and password have already been defined in the configuration file; in this case, it is not possible to change the password in the logon page.

When your password has expired, you are automatically asked for a new password. When you try to log on with your current password, an error message appears and input fields for changing the password are shown.

Browser Restrictions

The browser's "Back" and "Forward" buttons do not work with the two types of clients and should therefore not be used.

If you want to run two Natural sessions in parallel, you have to start a new instance of the browser (for example, by choosing the corresponding icon in the Quick Launch toolbar of Windows). You must not use the browser's "New Window" function. This would result in one session running in two browsers, which is not allowed.
