I understand that we can create a customized login page in Salesforce; but I should create a login component and embed it in our public pages. I should also create another component that allows the user to log out or log in as as a different user. Is this possible?
Not 100% clear on the exact question here, but you don't need to create any custom components in order to customise the login page. This is now standard with Winter '14 - go to the "My Domain" admin menu item and scroll down to "Login Page Branding".
If you're unable to use this for some reason, or it's not what you're after perhaps you could explain further what you're trying to achieve?

I am using Class Based View, and in this particular form (based on FormView) I want restrict access to Logged Users only. It somehow works, but I want after user give login / password go back, redirect to particular site - for example named "my_form" or other (could be home page), but in this case, after login Django Admin shows. I need its functionality only for login and I want go back to desired location, 'my_form' page.
How can I achieve this? Don't want decorators here, as I want to use this special Mixin.
class EmployeeLocationFormView(LoginRequiredMixin, FormView):
login_url = 'admin:login'
redirect_field_name = 'my_form'
I am new to Sitefinity and looking for a solution to create a custom password protected page that prompts used first with a password form and if successful, would display the content on the page.
That's a standard functionality of the CMS - just create the page and then from the Actions menu select Set Permissions and there you can set that only Authenticated users (or any other role) can have View access to the page.
I am building a basic login page using the existing sign-in portlet.
I just want to have a functionality that when a user access the website, right now localhost:8080, the sign-in portlet should pop up!
Is this doable? If so, Can someone please hint me how this can be done?
This is how the default page looks like right now:
To log in, I have to explicitely click on the "sign-in" blue button and then it pops out a modal sign in portlet.
But what I am trying to do here is:
Whenever a user clicks on the default url, it should immediately ask the user to login rather than showing a blank page with a sign-in button (something like the output image)
Or even a modal sign-in box (Whatever is easy to customize.)
and
Whenever a user hits any other url for eg. localhost:8080/web/project1/home and if the user is not signed in, it should force him to sign in first.
Two possibilities out of the box:
place nothing but the sign in portlet on the homepage, appearing at that location (typically /web/guest/home)
protect your default page to be not visible to the guest user (this will automatically forward to the sign-in portlet) - see the "Permissions" button on the "Manage Pages" interface
There are more, but these seem to be the first and most obvious ones. Let me know if one of them works for you or what the reason for your request is
From what I understand, you want the Login Portlet to popup as a modal window/lightbox on the current page (i.e. without leaving the page). AFAIK, to achieve this, you'll have to develop all your portlets to use AJAX to create links that point protected resources. So when you get an unauthenticated request, you can stay on the same page and show login dialog.
This is high-level approach. You'll need to 1) embed the Login portlet in your theme and 2) put the below javascript functionality in Theme:
callback function - to handle response for unauthenticated request,
to render modal/lightbox
You might face surprises while implementing this.
On Plone, I am looking at establishing a User Group with an initial login page (collective.onlogin) that leads to what I hope will be the new Home Page. How do I change the Home Tab to reflect this once the authorised user has moved past the LogIn page. Currently, the home tab reflects and returns to the login page - string${globals_view/navigationRootUrl}
Where string:${globals_view/navigationRootUrl} is specified you may specify other expressions. In this case, you'll probably wish to create a BrowserView or Python Script that returns the path you want, since it sounds like there may be some real logic. Then, call that view or script rather than globals_view/navigationRootUrl.
Found that if I de-activated collective.onlogin, went to the "Change content item as default view ..." and selected the home page that I wanted, then reactivated collective.onlogin I would get what I wanted. The login page is still very vanilla, but that can wait for another day. Hope this helps the next person.
I'm having a very weird issue with user logins.
I'm building a site where all the content/menus are only available after you login.
I made a 'login' through the Modules and assign it the "userlogin" position.
Now when I go to the home page or any page, the login box comes up, but there's also a second login form. It seems to be coming from com_user.
This com_user login form doesn't work. I can't login using any credentials. If it was working I can simply remove my login module.
Is there a way I can either:
get com_user to work with normal user logins
or
disable this and so I can only see the Module login.
I can hide it from CSS, but I want to know where it's coming from.
Check the menu link which you have created should be public.
If these are not public then whenever user clicks it, he/she will be asked for login. Thats why the second login option is coming up.
