BlueZone scripts can accept variables which can be passed
to BlueZone through object tag parameters. Up to nine (9) variables
per BlueZone session can be specified starting with Var1 and ending with Var9. These variables can be inserted
into the object tag dynamically based on the user’s login information.
Technologies such as Active Server Pages (ASP) and Java Server Pages
(JSP) can be used to create HTML pages with dynamic content.
Configuration method: Manual configuration
Feature scope: Site-level feature
Scope
The following exercise shows you how
to record a BlueZone script that can be used to automatically log
a user in to a host by using two variables: one for user name and
one for password.
In the following exercise, file references
are for BlueZone Mainframe. If you are using BlueZone iSeries or BlueZone
VT, substitute the appropriate file names and locations.
The steps involved are:
- Record the BlueZone login script
- Configure BlueZone to automatically play the script
- Use BlueZone Script Editor to insert variables into your script
- Add variables to the BlueZone object tag
- Make the script available to your users
It is the responsibility of the reader to provide an Active Server Page script or some other
method that will provide the dynamic interface to the web page that contains the BlueZone
object tag.
Note: Before going any further, please be aware that Object Tag changes, must be
made to the launch_x.htm page located in your Site’s
template\ folder before the Launch Page is created. When you create
your Launch Page, the Wizard will use the launch_x.htm page located
in the template\ folder as the master. There is no need to modify
the launch_x-64.htm page because the Wizard will use the master
launch_x.htm page to create both the
launch_x.htm and the launch_x-64.htm pages
which will appear in your created Launch Folder.
Requirements
- BlueZone Web-to-Host installed and working on a web server
- That you are familiar with configuring BlueZone Web-to-Host and
its terminology
- An interface that can capture the user’s user name and password,
and that can dynamically pass that information to an ASP script or
similar dynamic scripting technology
