multiple Login Screen

[ChrKlein]

I want to create for two separate applications, two separate login screens.
For the first Application (PC Application 1680x1050px) a large
login screen and for the 2nd Application (handheld or tablet pc) a small login screen
(320x240px)

how can i create multiple login screens?

I work with Profound UI Version 4.1.7 without Atrium.

One approach might be to use browser authenticaton for the tablet PCs, and PUI authentication for the desktops.

Have you considered this approach? Will it work for you, or is it important to have complete control over the look & feel of the screen?

i want to have the user (login user) for user controls (security) and logging.
it would better for me when i have the complete control over the login screen.

I don't know, how I can over the browser authentication determine the user
on the AS400. (rtvjoba or SDS ....)

Browser authentication works with RTVJOBA and SDS the same way that PUI login works.

The only difference is that with PUI logins you can modify the appearance of the login screen by changing the PUISCREENS display file, whereas browser authentication causes the browser to prompt the user for their userid/password, in which case, you can't control what the screen looks like.

Try it... try pointing your browser at http://your-server/profoundui/auth/start

Notice that the browser prompts for the userid/password instead of the normal PUI logon screen.

If you don't like the browser logon idea, then another approach might be to install PUI in two separate instances, one for the PCs with larger monitors, and one for the tablet computers.

those are good ideas. I will try it.
many thanks.

Another thought: If your main goal is to have the screen sized according to the display, you could rewrite the SIGNONSCRN record format of the PUISCREENS display file so that it uses a "layout" widget. Then you can have it resize to match whatever screen you're on.

The next challenge will be: How to make it call a different program for users coming from a tablet vs. users coming from PC. Normally, PUI automatically calls the intiial program (that's set in the designer) for the user profile -- and so a user would always get the same program after they've signed on, no matter if their on the tablet or PC. I would think this would be an issue for you, too.

Scott,

We have decided to use the http://your-server/profoundui/auth/start solution to sign on to our mobile applications. I have noticed that my iPhone will not require me to sign on again after I do that once. I rebooted and it did bring up the browser sign on but then ongoing it would take me directly to the mobile menu I have set up.

Is there a setting somewhere that you know of on the iPhone/iPad/Android to force the sign on screen each time?

Thanks and hope you are getting better by the hour!!!!!!
