Step 9: Setting Up the URL to Access the New User Registration Login Page

The proxy receives the URL to access the New User Registration login page through an email notification, which is sent using the generic template DA_PROXY_GRANT. Use the New User Registration Installation page to let the system construct the generic URL for you. In the New User Registration Installation page, you enter your system information in order to populate the NUR constants. The constants use all the security utilities that are delivered with the NUR framework. After you enter your system information, the New User Installation page lets you generate these generic URLs:

  • Tester URL, which is used to transfer the guest user to the NUR Tester page.

  • Production URL, which is used to transfer the guest user to the NUR sample login page, or your custom version of the page. This is the login page you use in your production environment.

Use the New User Registration Context page to create a URL specific to Delegated Access that ensures the guest user (proxy) is immediately transferred to the Proxy Terms and Conditions page after being successfully authenticated into your system. The NUR context ID, SCC_NURCTXT_20120918102441 (NUR_DELEGATED_ACCESS), is available in your system. The New User Registration Context page constructs the URL by combining the generic URL and the NUR context ID SCC_NURCTXT_20120918102441. The NUR context ID value is referenced in the Delegated Access application class SCC_DA.NOTIFICATION.NOTIFY. The DA application class uses the URL marked as Active in the New User Registration Context page to replace the Access URL variable that is defined in the DA_PROXY_GRANT email template. If you want to test the Delegated Access process without setting up a Kiosk or portal environment, set the Tester URL as the active URL. The active URL transfers the proxy to the NUR Tester login page. When you are ready to deploy your application, set the Production URL as Active to transfer the proxy to your real login page, which is either the NUR sample login page or your custom version of the page.

If you prefer to manually enter a URL, then on the New User Registration Context page, select Customize URL and make sure you set this URL as active. This is especially useful if you do not use the NUR framework for your security needs. If you use a custom URL, you do not need to modify the Delegated Access application class (SCC_DA.NOTIFICATION.NOTIFY) because it uses the URL you set as active regardless of whether it is automatically generated or customized.

Note:

The auto-generated URLs use the New User Registration framework security utilities such as switchUser, autologger and gatekeeper. If you customize the URL, you are unable to use those utilities.
