Login PopUp - how to allow remembering login values ?

[Jiri]

VL-web application uses a simple login POP-UP window for entering required User name and Password.
The authentication logic in using application file (containing profiles and encrypted passwords) and server module for authentication.
It works fine, but customer is wondering, why this login cannot be remembered in browser.
Typically, the browser offers option to save (and remember) logins for specific servers, but this option is not offered for LANSA application login.
What can we do for it ?

Typically, most browsers look for input fields with the labels:
<input type='text' name='username'>
<input type='password' name='password'>

I have had some success by naming the fields on my login form 'username' and 'password'.

I think you will have to ensure that you have (at least) 2 input boxes, 1 labelled 'username' (#username in lansa) and 1 labelled 'password' (#password in lansa). you should ensure that the password input has the password_char is set.

something like:

Code: Select all

Define_Com Class(#PRIM_LABL) Name(#Label1) Displayposition(2) Ellipses(Word) Height(35) Left(15) Parent(#COM_OWNER) Tabposition(4) Tabstop(False) Verticalalignment(Bottom) Width(998) Caption('Email Address') Themedrawstyle('Strong') Top(70)
Define_Com Class(#PRIM_EDIT) Name(#userName) Displayposition(3) Left(15) Parent(#COM_OWNER) Showselection(False) Showselectionhilight(False) Tabposition(1) Top(105) Width(998) Height(35) Placeholder('name@example.com')
Define_Com Class(#PRIM_LABL) Name(#Label2) Caption('Password') Displayposition(4) Ellipses(Word) Height(35) Left(15) Parent(#COM_OWNER) Tabposition(5) Tabstop(False) Verticalalignment(Bottom) Width(998) Themedrawstyle('Strong') Top(140)
Define_Com Class(#PRIM_EDIT) Name(#Password) Displayposition(5) Left(15) Parent(#COM_OWNER) Showselection(False) Showselectionhilight(False) Tabposition(2) Top(175) Width(998) Height(35) Placeholder('Password') Passwordchar('*')

You could code behavior yourself by storing the credentials encrypted in local storage on successful logon.

Does not work for me

Can you provide any functional example ? Either the login as requested or a possibility to store login localy?

Hi Jiri

Have a look at xDemoWebLocalStorage

This demonstrates the use of LocalStorage
