Web Services page!

ZenMuster · Aug 22, 2003

Hi,

When I type my domain address istead of going directly to Webaccess login screen I'm on Web services screen. On that screen I have to click on the Go button. Could you guys help me change that so I could go directly to the

http://domainname.com/servlet/webacc

instead of just

http://domainname.com

Thank you.

We use GW 6.0x. Your index.html and install point may differ slightly depending on your version of groupwise, where you installed it, and which type of web server you're running. Here is what I did:

1. I found the index page (mine was at \\SERVER\SYS\Novonyx\suitespot\docs\index.html).

2. I modified the HTML to automatically refresh the page to /servlet/webacc. I did this by adding the META tag on line 4.

3. I also made other modifications, like removing the form elements and replacing them with a "Click HERE if this page doesn't refresh..." link and changing the page title.

Here is my index.html after I modified it. I've highlighted in red the major changes that I made to the page:

Code:

<html>
<head>

Code:

<title>WISD WebAccess</title>
<META HTTP-EQUIV=&quot;Refresh&quot; CONTENT=&quot;0;URL=/servlet/webacc&quot;>

Code:

<style media=&quot;screen&quot; type=&quot;text/css&quot;>
<!--

Hope that helps.

P.S. Remember, any time you install a SP or patch that affects WebAccess, you may have to redo these changes!

The answer Darkshadeau give is right on the money, just seems a little over kill, and there is a pause. Haveing an index.html with just the following in it will send the user to the login page with out any pause.

_{<HTML>

<HEAD>

<META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH"Content="0;url= http://domainname/servlet/webacc">
</HEAD>

<BODY> </BODY>

</HTML>}
