Start pages and entry points

The ELO Web Client has multiple start pages and entry points. Each entry point redirects to the respective start page. Depending on the start page, different functions and areas are available.

Program start

Information: The preset language is determined based on the language setting in the browser and is used as the default value. However, you can change the language in the logon dialog box or in the start parameters (see below) at any time.

Start pages

Choose from the following start pages:

  • Main page
  • Direct view
  • E-mail search

Main page

This page offers the full functionality of the ELO Web Client.

Main pageStart page, main page

The following entry points are also available for the main page:

LogonEntry points

Manual logon

http://<host>:<port>/web-<repositoryname>/

For example: http://ELOSERVER:9090/web-Repository/

You will be sent to the logon page. You must enter your user name and password.

Manual logon

If logon is successful, you will be redirected to the main page of the program. If logon fails, a corresponding error message is shown. In this case, correct your logon data and click OK.

Information: If you are logging on manually, the name you entered stays the same when you change the language settings or log on to the system again.

Alternative (start parameters)

http://<host>:<port>/web-<repositoryname>/logon.html

For example: http://ELOSERVER:9090/web-Repository/logon.html

This entry point also redirects you to the logon page. You can add other start parameters (see below) to the entry point, which will affect various settings (e.g. client language, start page, etc.).

Single sign-on (SSO)

http://<host>:<port>/web-<repositoryname>/sso.html

For example: http://ELOSERVER:9090/web-Repository/sso.html

This page uses SSO to log on to the repository. If logon is successful, you will be redirected to the main page of the ELO Web Client. Otherwise, it will revert to the manual logon page.

Logon, SSO

Alternative (start parameters possible)

http://<host>:<port>/web-<repositoryname>/logon/index.jsp

For example: http://ELOSERVER:9090/web-Repository/logon/index.jsp

This entry point provides an alternative to SSO. You can add other start parameters (see below) to the entry point, which will affect various settings (e.g. client language, start page, etc.).

Direct view

This is not a start page in the conventional sense but more of an interface that you can open documents in. This requires a GUID as an additional parameter that automatically provides the browser with a link that refers to the document with the GUID entered. If the browser cannot display the document, then a message or pop-up window will appear, depending on the browser setting.

Direct viewStart page, direct view

Use the following entry point for direct view:

Logon with GUID

http://<host>:<port>/web-<repositoryname>/guid.jsp?guid=<GUID>

For example: http://ELOSERVER:9090/web-Repository/guid.jsp?guid=(4BE6C7FB-7F13-4297-93E5-3A26AD22EFEF)

For compatibility reasons, this logon redirects you to the direct view. You also need to enter a GUID as a parameter.

Logon, direct search

E-mail search

This page is restricted to a search function in e-mails.

E-mail searchStart page, e-mail search

Filters

The e-mail search can be restricted using filters similar to those in the Search work area. You can configure several of these filters on the configuration page.

E-mail search, filter

Configuration > Administration > E-mail search

If you do not enter anything to the From or To input fields, then the search starts with the default search form.

If there are no configuration options available, then the e-mail search starts automatically and searches through the entire repository.

Use the following entry point for the e-mail search:

http://<host>:<port>/web-<repositoryname>/#/ctrl/MailViewport

Access via start parameters

You can enter additional parameters for some logons. These parameters are attached to the URL when called. Always separate the first parameter from the URL with an '?'. All additional parameters are separated with an '&'. The respective value is specified with an '='.

Start parametersLogon, parameters

http://<host>:<port>/web-<repositoryname>/ix/logon.jsp

For example: http://ELOSERVER:9090/web-Repository/ix/logon.jsp?locale=fr&user=Anderson

The following parameters are available:

locale: Determines the language setting for the current session. The Web Client currently supports German, English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Czech, and Hungarian.

startPage: Determines the landing page that opens opened after logging on. The following values are possible: Main page = 1, Direct view = 3 and E-mail search = 4.

mailSearch: The "true" value serves as an equivalent to startPage = 4. This parameter is deprecated and is only listed for compatibility purposes.

GUID: GUID of a document, required for the document view and can be specified for the main page. The value to be entered is the GUID of a document that should be entered in parentheses, such as (9C0E2DA7-C1C6-4856-90D7-A50DA876F252).

Logon with start parameters for logon information

http://<host>:<port>/web-<repositoryname>/ix/urlLogin.jsp?user=<user name>&pw=<password>

Enter the parameters for the user name for this logon page (user) and password (pw). After SSO, additional parameters are evaluated and you are then redirected to the corresponding start page.

Please note: This logon page displays the user name and password in plain text. If Secure Socket Layer (SSL) was enabled, the parameters are encrypted, but will still appear in plain text in the browser or in the browser history. This also applies for server logs.
