Enabling Bypass Signon

Happy New year to all of you.Its been long since my last post.

Recently I was implementing forgotten password functionality in PeopleSoft. Earlier it was taken care by Portal. But now customer is decomissioning Portal system they want to implement this functionality on Finance homepage.

The  first step for this was to create a new site and make it bypass signon enabled.

Even for a single server domain , multiple sites can be create. The http port will be same. Once the site is created , make following changes to configuration.properties file and bounce the webserver.

byPassSignOn = True

defaultUserId = <UserId>

defautltPWD = <UserPwd>

Also make public access enabled in Web Profile for the user id given in configuration.properties file.

After that change the PIA link from http://<myserver>/psp/<sitename>/?cmd=login  to  http://<myserver>/psp/<sitename>/?cmd=start.

This change makes webserver to check for bypass signon , and thus didn’t ask for authentication.

Once this is set you can create an userid with appropriate permissions ( which will only access forgotten password component ) and give that as a direct link on the signin.html page.
