| 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 |
|
|---|
| 59 |
|
|---|
| 60 |
|
|---|
| 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.
