[opencms-dev] Redirecting to Index page if the user logs out in a protected page

[Paul-Inge Flakstad]

Hi Pujan,

You are correct, determining if the page is public or not public has to be done before redirecting (or not redirecting). You'll need to do this check programmatically, but it shouldn't be too hard.

If you're using OpenCms' permission system or properties for access control, you can use OpenCms' API. A good start would be to check out CmsObject#getPermissions(String).
If you're using something other than OpenCms for permissions, you'll need to figure out another solution. :)

HTH,
Paul

Hi Paul,

Thank you for your reply. But there are some pages in the website as
well which are accessible to all. In such cases, when the user logs out,
user should stay in the same page(the login area would now show username
and password textboxes).

So, depending on the permissions of the page in which the user logs out,
the user would be redirected to the index page using the way you
suggested or no redirection would occur if the page is public.

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Thanks,
Pujan
