The connection parameters available in the configuration file for the session and on the logon page can also be specified as URL parameters of the logon page URL. This allows bookmarking the startup URL of a Natural application or starting an application by clicking a hyperlink in a document.
With Natural for Ajax, the URL parameters have the prefix
xciParameters (for example,
xciParameters.natsession).
The URL parameters overrule the definitions in the configuration file, with the exception described below.
The following URL parameters are available for the logon page:
| URL Parameter | Corresponding Option in the Session Configuration |
