Portal
The add-on module Portal allows creating Web 2.0 applications (HTML5) based on profiles. This module is an extension of the add-on module Web Monitor and can only be operated in combination with it.
The users of the Portal are identical to the users created for the Web Monitor. Initially, you can use the default user of the Web Monitor (user/password admin/admin). The login data for Lobster_data cannot be used here. Please open your browser, type in the following URL and choose the Portal.
Note: See section Adding an HTTPS Listener.
http://<IP_of_Integration_Server_or_DMZ> https://<IP_of_Integration_Server_or_DMZ> |
The direct link is:
http://<IP_of_Integration_Server_or_DMZ>/portal https://<IP_of_Integration_Server_or_DMZ>/portal |
Note: The selected Portal language is stored in the system variable VAR_SYS_PORTAL_LANG.
You can also directly enter your login data in the link with http://<IP_or_URL_of_Lobster_data_or_DMZ>/webmonitor/Interceptor?user=<user>&password=<password>&language=en
In response, you will receive a token string of the following type.
1661755355467005731743:33703602516:533663474105103177626
In another call, which uses the token string, the actual login takes place.
http://<IP_or_URL_of_Lobster_data_or_DMZ>/portal?token=1661755355467005731743:33703602516:533663474105103177626&user=<user>
So for example: http://localhost/portal?token=1661755355467005731743:33703602516:533663474105103177626&user=myuser
Important note: Please note that some characters are reserved in a URL. One solution would be not to use these characters in the user or password. However, special characters do of course have their purpose in passwords for security. Alternatively, you can then URL-encode your password before entering it in the URL. See function URL-encode(text a, encoding b, space-handling c), for example.
How It Works
A profile source structure is automatically converted to an HTML form, and after filling and sending it, this profile is started with the entered data (which creates a job). This allows data to be collected online via a browser and processed with a Lobster_data profile.
A normal profile is used to create a portal form, but it must have an Input Agent of type Portal.
