Q&A

Hi everyBody,

I created a web page index.php , that is accesed by login the username and password(this page is independent with bonita using other database). in this page there is a button named “Start Case”, as the name say , when users click to this button , i retrieve a username and i redirect to a tasks of this case if we are logged previously in bonita portal , but if not are logged previously in bonita portal , it showing me the “loggin form”.So my question is how i can login automatically in bonita portal after that user do click in the button and then redirect to a task of this case.

For this issue i have been reviewing the docuemntation of API REST, but i don’t manage!

Thanks in advanced!

If you know user login and password you can use the login REST api /loginservice which will give you a cookie for your authenticated session.

Please note that if your problem is only to connect the user to the portal using an external system you could implement a class that does this from the portal login form (see documentation). If you want to “hide the portal” you could consider using bonita applications

Did not have to do this kind of thing but once logged through the REST API if you send back the cookies to the client a redirect to the portal should not display the login form.

Hi, What do you mean exactly by Use Bonita Applications? Sorry if this is not a great question,

Set of bonita pages. You can define applications inside the portal. This gives you URLs like http://localhost:8080/bonita/apps/MyApp

The getting started tutorial explain this concept!
