Question

Redirected to project login page

Hello Community,

 

For one of the platforms my company is running, each time I go to https://..../Thingworx/Composer/ I end up at a https://..../Thingworx/FormLogin/Myapp page instead.

 

I have checked my user and it does not have a home mashup:

If I do login using the form login page, I can then change the URL to /Composer and I can access the composer.

Does anyone have any idea why this is?

 

Thanks,

Jens C

Hi @jensc 

 

To restrict the non-admin users from accessing the composer, you can check ComposerUsers  and remove user groups from it 

 

For more information - User Groups (ptc.com)

Hello @Velkumar,

 

It's not that I should not have access to the composer. It is just strange that for this particular platform, I am "forced" to login using the /FormLogin/ page.

On all other platforms, if I go to the /Composer/ URL, I get the normal "sign in" popup:

I have asked other colleagues and they do not have the same issue when trying to login to this platform... 

Is there any settings perhaps that I can look at?

 

Thanks,

Jens C.

Hi @jensc 

 

I don't have any about this issue. 

 

Maybe PTC support can help you with this issue.

 

Thanks,

Is there maybe a custom Authenticator active (you can find it in composer, like Things there are Authenticators)? We did have a FormLoginAuthenticator (non official extension) at one point in our platform, which behaved like this I think.

Hello @nmutter,

 

We do have some authenticators on the platform, but none are "enabled".

I think I'll open a case with PTC to see if they can figure it out. 

From what I know, my colleagues do not face the same issue on the platform, so should be something with my user perhaps.

 

Thanks!

Hello,

 

After opening a case with PTC I tried clearing all of my browser cache.

This worked until I went to the form login page of the application that had gotten "stuck" again.

 

Then I started ending up on that form login again.

Since it is only on one platform of many, I'll leave this for now. In case anyone else also gets this issue it might be useful to know that it is possible to clear your cache to temporarily fix it.

 

Regards,

Jens

Hi @jensc.

 

It sounds like you have the home page set at the org level.  Check that out and see if it resolves the issue.

 

Regards.

Hello @slangley,

 

When you say org level, what do you mean? 

I do have a home page set for the organization that is related to the form login page.

But I'm guessing that is not what you mean?

Hi @jensc

 

Yes, that is what we mean.  Since you have it set at the org level, it will affect everyone set up for that organization.

 

Is that the page you're being redirected to when you login?

 

Regards.
