23 | <h3>Login Persistent Cookie Information</h3>
|
---|
24 |
|
---|
25 | <p>The login module uses a persistent cookie to store the institution you select at login.
|
---|
26 |
|
---|
27 | <p>This information is used at the next login, to pre-select the same institution for the next login.</p>
|
---|
28 |
|
---|
29 | <p>Given that the list of institutions may be quite long for some applications, the goal of using the
|
---|
30 |
|
---|
31 | persistent cookie is to save you time by pre-selecting the most likely institution choice, which for most
|
---|
32 |
|
---|
33 | users would be the previously selected login. This is similar to the Windows login, which saves your last
|
---|
34 |
|
---|
35 | domain used for login, and pre-selects that domain at the next login.
|
---|
36 |
|
---|
37 | <p>In addition to the above persistent cookie, the login module uses another persistent cookie to store
|
---|
38 |
|
---|
39 | the user's preference for sorting institutions in the Institution Drop Down box of the login page.
|
---|
40 |
|
---|
41 | <p>The cookies contains the following information:
|
---|
42 |
|
---|
43 | <ul>
|
---|
44 |
|
---|
45 | <li>name: gov.va.med.authentication.kernel.defaultDivision
|
---|
46 |
|
---|
47 | <li>value: station number used for the previous login
|
---|
48 |
|
---|
49 | <li>expiry time: 180 days
|
---|
50 |
|
---|
51 | <li>name: gov.va.med.authentication.kernel.defaultSortInstitutionBy
|
---|
52 |
|
---|
53 | <li>value: sort order of name or number used for the previous refresh
|
---|
54 |
|
---|
55 | <li>expiry time: 180 days
|
---|
56 |
|
---|
57 | </ul>
|
---|
58 |
|
---|

|
---|

|
---|
61 | <h4>Thin Client/Terminal Server users:</h4>
|
---|
62 |
|
---|
63 | <p>Please note that persistent cookies may not be of much use on Terminal Servers.
|
---|
64 |
|
---|
65 | <p>The reason is that many Terminal Servers may have been configured to use roaming profiles that may
|
---|
66 |
|
---|
67 | not retain as part of the user profile cookies and temporary internet files upon the user logout
|
---|
68 |
|
---|
69 | and disconnect.</p>
|
---|
70 |
|
---|
71 | <p>In such cases, the recommendation is to create on each Terminal Server shortcuts and save them
|
---|
72 |
|
---|
73 | on the desktop and/or quick launch bar. These shortcuts should have the desired target URLs plus any
|
---|
74 |
|
---|
75 | desired KAAJEE supported parameters. For further details regarding how to use these KAAJEE supported
|
---|
76 |
|
---|
77 | parameters in order to pre-select the desired institution and institution sorting preference,
|
---|
78 |
|
---|
79 | please refer to the KAAJEE documentation.
