While developing an intranet portal based on Oracle WebCenter Interaction
10gR3 for a customer, developers of
idesis GmbH (
http://www.idesis.de)
have successfully fixed a bug with accessing a bookmarked community page (portal page)
url when the user doesn't have a valid portal session in a SSO (Single
SignOn) environment yet.
There are 4 different ways to open a community page:
- http://<portalurl>/portal/server.pt
- http://<portalurl>/portal/server.pt?open=514&objID=12345&mode=2
- http://<portalurl>/portal/server.pt?uuID={C8DC1486-F0CF-4DD4-A0A8-753E0D6B2D36}&mode=2
- http://<portalurl>/portal/server.pt/community/information_management/1111/information_management
The first address always opens the homepage, so it isn't interesting
for us in this case. The second address always works, even in a SSO
environment. Address-type 3 and 4 only work if the user already logged
on the portal.
You can reproduce the bug doing the following steps:
- Configure an WCI 10gR3 portal (or ALUI 6.x) with SSO.
- Bookmark a community page.
- Open a new browser window and attempt directly access that bookmarked community Url.
- Note that you are redirected to your My Page / Homepage (it depends on the configuration of your experience definition)
- Now that you're already logged in via SSO, if you paste the
community URL again into the address bar then you will properly be
directed to the community.
