| How to log on |  |
| You can log on to the Web UI in the following ways: Through BaanLogin or Rexec Web UI authentication. To access other applications, you must log on separately for each application. See To log on to the Web UI using BaanLogin or Rexec Web UI authentication. Through Infor Single Sign On (Infor SSO) authentication. By logging on once, you gain access to multiple applications. See To log on to the Web UI using Infor SSO authentication. Through Federation Services authentication. By logging on once, you gain access to multiple applications. Depending on configuration settings you can be logged on automatically based on your Windows credentials. See To log on to the Web UI using Federation Services authentication. Through shortcuts or favorites. See To start Web UI through shortcuts or favorites. Through Java Web Start. See To start Web UI through Java Web Start To log on to the Web UI using BaanLogin or Rexec Web UI authentication To log on to the Web UI through BaanLogin or Rexec: Open your internet browser and specify a URL with this format: `http://<hostname>:<port>/<webtop-root>/servlet/login` Ask your Web UI administrator for details. The Infor Login dialog appears. In the Infor Login dialog, complete these steps: Select your environment. Enter your user name and password. Select or clear the Remember Password check box. Select or clear the Use Default User Profile check box. Click Login. Depending on user profile settings, one of the following situations occurs: If you already have a default user profile and you selected the Use Default User Profile check box, you are logged on to the server. During the log on process, the last login date and time are displayed. This is useful, for example, to check if somebody used your user account during your absence. Once you are logged on, the last login date and time are displayed in the status bar below the Web UI Work Area. If you already have one or more user profiles and you cleared the Use Default User Profile check box, the available profiles are displayed. To log on, select a profile and click Open. If you do not yet have a user profile, you are prompted to create one. Click New to create a profile. For details, refer to Create a new user profile. After creating a profile, you must select and open the new profile. To log on to the Web UI using Infor SSO authentication The Infor SSO user authentication is handled by the Infor Security Service. You need to specify your Infor Security User ID and password only once, when you log on to the first Infor application. After logging on, you can access multiple Infor applications without being prompted for your username and password. To log on to the Web UI via Infor SSO: Open your internet browser and specify a URL with this format: `http(s)://<hostname>:<port>/<webtop-root>/servlet/ssologin` Ask your Web UI administrator for details. The Infor Single Sign On dialog appears. Enter your Infor Security User ID and password, and click Sign In. Depending on user profile settings, one of the following situations occurs: If you already have a default user profile and you indicated to use this profile automatically, you are logged on to the server. During the log on process, the last login date and time are displayed. This is useful, for example, to check if somebody used your user account during your absence. Once you are logged on, the last login date and time are displayed in the status bar below the Web UI Work Area. If you already have one or more user profiles and you did not indicate to use the default profile automatically, the User Profiles dialog appears. To log on, select a profile and click Open. It is recommended to select the Next time use this User Profile automatically check box in the User Profiles dialog, so the next time you log on this dialog will be skipped. Note You cannot clear this check box afterwards, because the dialog will be skipped during subsequent logins. Instead, you can disable this option via the Options menu in Web UI. For details, refer to The Options menu. If you do not yet have a user profile, you are prompted to create one. Click New to create a profile. For details, refer to Create a new user profile. Important! When creating a profile, select an Infor SSO enabled ERP environment. Do not select a BaanLogin or Rexec enabled environment. After creating a profile, you must select and open the new profile. To log on to the Web UI using Federation Services authentication Federation Services authentication enables you to authenticate once and gain access to the resources of multiple Infor software systems. Federation Services authentication is handled by Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS). You need to specify your User ID and password only once, when you log on to the first Infor application. Depending on ADFS configuration settings you can be logged on automatically based on your Windows credentials. After logging on to the first application, you can access multiple Infor applications without being prompted for your username and password. Note No new authentication is required as long as your browser is active. Depending on ADFS configuration settings you may be prompted for your username and password again, when you open a new browser after closing the first browser. To log on to the Web UI using Federation Services authentication: Open your internet browser and specify a URL with this format: `http(s)://<hostname>:<port>/<webtop-root>/servlet/fslogin`. Ask your Web UI administrator for details. One of these situations occurs: You are logged on to the Web UI. A log on dialog box is displayed. If a log on dialog box is displayed, enter your user ID and password, and click Sign In. Ask your Web UI administrator for details. You may be prompted to create or open a user profile. See Step 2 in the To log on to the Web UI using Infor SSO authentication section. To start Web UI through shortcuts or favorites You can start Web UI also through a shortcut on your desktop or through a favorite in your web browser. In the properties of the shortcut or favorite you can specify the ERP environment, user name and user profile. To log on using the BaanLogin or Rexec authentication, the URL in the properties of the shortcut or favorite must have the following structure: `http://<hostname>:<port>/<webtop-root>/servlet/login?baan.environment=<ERP environment>&erp.user=<User ID>&startupbackend=erp&webtop.user.context=< Web UI User Profile>` To log on using the Infor SSO authentication, the URL in the properties of the shortcut or favorite must have the following structure: `http(s)://<hostname>:<port>/<webtop-root>/servlet/ssologin?baan.environment=<ERP environment>&erp.user=<User ID>&startupbackend=erp&webtop.user.context=< Web UI User Profile>` To create a shortcut: Start your web browser and enter the URL. Drag the URL to your desktop and create a shortcut. Rename the shortcut. Example User jsmith uses a shortcut to log on to the "ERPLNFP4" environment, using the jsmith1 user profile. The "ERPLNFP4" environment uses Rexec authentication. The shortcut uses the following URL: `http://alpine:8312/webtop/servlet/login?baan.environment=ERPLNFP4&erp.user=jsmith&startupbackend=erp&webtop.user.context=jsmith1` To start Web UI through Java Web Start You can start Web UI through Java Web Start. Java Web Start allows users to start application software for the Java platform directly from the internet using a web browser. When Web UI is started through Java Web Start, Web UI does not run inside a browser. The Web UI interface is displayed in a separate window. Web UI is started through Java Web Start, for example, when you perform a drill-back action in Infor MyDay. To manually start Web UI through Java Web Start, open a URL with this format: `http://<hostname>:<port>/<webtop-root>/servlet/jws/login` |
