Is there a way to bypass the Web login window, from a link sent in an email from filemaker.

Is there a way to bypass the login screen and go into a script, or layout

If you have only Guest access enabled for your database, it is possible to use a link of the following format to log directly in:

http://www.yourdomain.com/fmi/iwp/cgi?-db=Datab aseName&-loadframes
Leaving the ".fp7" extension off the DatabaseName.


Otherwise, you can authenticate a user using a link like:

http://www.yourdomain.com/fmi/iwp/cgi?acct=acco unt&name=username& ;password=password&lo gin=Login&-authdb

But this can't be used to go directly to a database - it will auth the user then land you on the database listing page. It is possible to modify the iwp_home.html page in FMSA to then auto-redirect using Javascript keyed off the domain used to access it.

P.S. I don't know why the bulletin board software is messing up my links a bit, but you get the idea.

I wonder if you'd be willing to attach a copy of your modified iwp_home.html page with that little javascript in it?

Thanks,

Dana

Sorry - our specific code is proprietary to our hosting service, and a benefit of using such. A general web search should turn up plenty on writing both domain detection and browser redirection javascripts.
