Cookies example

Your login page would obviously run a WQS agent when submitted. Assuming the agent finds a matching user profile for the user name and password that was submitted you would then set a cookie and open a post-login page for the user by using something like this at the end of the agent process:

Print |Set-Cookie:UserID=JohnDoe|
Print |Location: /MyDB.nsf/MyForm?openform|

Then in your other web pages check to make sure that the cookie has an appropriate value or else redirect the user to the login page. You can use something like the following, placing the cookie test in the onLoad event and the getCookie() function in the JS Header.

var cookie = getCookie("UserID");
if(cookie==null){
window.location.href="Login?OpenForm";
}

function getCookie(cookieName)
{
if(document.cookie)
{
var index = document.cookie.indexOf(cookieName);
if (index != -1)
{
var countbegin = (document.cookie.indexOf(cookieName+"=", index) + 1);
var countend = document.cookie.indexOf(";", index);
if (countend == -1)
{
countend = document.cookie.length;
}
return document.cookie.substring(countbegin + cookieName.length, countend);
}
}
return null;
}
