Module-based Authentication Redirection URLs

Upon a successful or failed module-based authentication, Access Manager looks for information on where to redirect the user. Following is the order of precedence in which the application will look for this information.

Successful Module-based Authentication Redirection URLs

The redirection URL for successful module-based authentication is determined by checking the following places in order of precedence:

  1. A URL set by the authentication module.

  2. A URL set by a goto Login URL parameter.

  3. A URL set in the clientType custom files for the iplanet-am-user-success-url attribute of the user’s profile ( amUser.xml).

  4. A URL set in the clientType custom files for the iplanet-am-auth-login-success-url attribute of the user’s role entry.

  5. A URL set in the clientType custom files for the iplanet-am-auth-login-success-url attribute of the user’s realm entry.

  6. A URL set in the clientType custom files for the iplanet-am-auth-login-success-url attribute as a global default.

  7. A URL set in the iplanet-am-user-success-url attribute of the user’s profile (amUser.xml).

  8. A URL set in the iplanet-am-auth-login-success-url attribute of the user’s role entry.

  9. A URL set in the iplanet-am-auth-login-success-url attribute of the user’s realm entry.

  10. A URL set in the iplanet-am-auth-login-success-url attribute as a global default.

Failed Module-based Authentication Redirection URLs

The redirection URL for failed module-based authentication is determined by checking the following places in the following order:

  1. A URL set by the authentication module.

  2. A URL set by a gotoOnFail Login URL parameter.

  3. A URL set in the clientType custom files for the iplanet-am-user-failure-url attribute of the user’s entry ( amUser.xml).
