396Chapter 9 Customizing the portal and user logon

Automatic redirection to internal sites

You can configure the portal to automatically redirect authenticated clients to an internal site. Unlike the linkset autorun feature, automatic redirection does not open a new browser window. Rather, it replaces the default Home page in the internal frame on the portal browser page. As long as the browser remains open, the session remains logged in.

The commands to configure automatic redirection require you to specify the URL to which the clients will be redirected, prefixed by the portal address (see “Configuring the portal display using the CLI” on page 405 or “Configuring the portal display using the SREM” on page 425).

Examples of redirection URLs and links

Table 77 shows example specifications for redirection URLs and associated links. In these examples:

the portal address is nsnas.example.com

the address to which you want to redirect clients is inside.example.com
