How to redirect users to a custom login page in HCL DX

Applies to

HCL Digital Experience v9.5 and Higher

Introduction

By default, when a user accesses a protected server context (such as /wps/myportal), HCL DX redirects them to the default login page. IBM WebSphere Application Server manages this by checking the web.xml file in the wps.war archive and routing the request through the HCL DX redirect servlet (/wps/redirect), which identifies the target page by its unique name (default is wps.Login). For more information on the default unique name, refer to Administrator Unique Names Mapping Service.

This article describes how to change this behavior and configure a redirect to a custom login page.

Instructions

To redirect users to a custom login page, choose one of the following options:

• Change the LOGIN property value in the Administrator Unique Names Mapping service to point to the custom login page.
• Remove the wps.Login unique name from the default login page and assign it to the custom login page.
