Update Guest Login Details

You (System Administrator) can facilitate Guest Users to login to the Infrastructure system by configuring the Guest Login Details. If a password is defined, then the guest users are required to enter the password during logon and would then be navigated to the specific modules based on the mapped Roles and Functions. Ensure the following before configuring the guest user details:

• Functions and Roles should be mapped appropriately for tracking the guest user activities on the system. For example, when a guest user is permitted to modify Metadata, the change done cannot be tracked since the system recognizes Guest User as Modifier.
• When there is a provision for Guest User to access the Infrastructure system from an external machine, a specific set of .jsp’s (web pages) has to be defined to the Guest User and maintained in the “urllist.cfg” in ficweb/conf folder.
  For example, if the “urllist.cfg” contains “ficportal/Testing.jsp” and “fiv/OpenView.jsp’s”, Guest users can view and execute Testing and OpenView.jsp’s from ficportal and fiv contexts.

  • Any number of pages can be defined within the “urllist.cfg” file
  • The additions into the CFG file will be done manually.
  • Only the links specified in the urllist.cfg file can be accessed through the guest login.
• You can also specify access based on wild card entries. A wildcard character can be applied at the main folder level only and not to a subset of files within a folder.

  For example, if access is provided to ficportal/testing/*, then all the pages under ficportal/testing folder are accessible from Guest login.
