Now i am a Novice with K2, i can make the Smartobjects , Forms and Views , Workflows ... Now i started today and i Really liked the Application now i want to do something really interesting, to design something like an application that can have a Login and then possibly a dashboard and then i can link the other forms by Hyperlink, All done inside K2

Do i have to start looking at active directories? What should i study mainly?

Hi,


 


you can have a look at the below documentation that contains the step-by-step instructions to build  "basic" version of the Leave Request Approval Application.


 


The application itself is a basic Leave Request Approval application. The workflow contains a (user) Task step, where the assigned approver will either approve or reject the request.


 


I think this might help you to make a complete web application.

Played with that, now i need something that i can do, when a User (Who is registered on the System logs in, then he can access something like that) I wanted a Scenario where i can make something like a Login page and when the user login with his user information then he can see the form , Challenge i have is how to make a custom Login form. I can make a form to display username and password textboxes (but what if i want to make it to authenticate and then redirect) , That apparently is the challenge i am having at this point.


Hi,


 


As I was going through community post I found this on one of the post, you can try it as well.


 


there are many ways to do login page, I will explain a simple one:


 


let's assume the  registeration will be an administration role, so you will need to have a list with all the authenticated/registered users and has their passwords, emails, AD Name, etc..


 


now design a login form with two textboxes (email and password), 2 datalables(hidden) and one button


 


to avoid confusion I will use the following names


 


Password textbox = txtPassword


Email textbox = txtEmail


Password datalable = dlPassword


Email datalable = dlEmail


Login Button = btnLogin


 


 


When btnLogin is Clicked


 


Execute LoginUsersInfo List method (Filter it on AD Name, Where AD Name = Current User Name) => return Email and Password to the hidden datalables


 


If Form Passes Validation (txtEmail and txtPassword are required fields)


And If (txtEmail = dlEmail AND txtPassword = dlPassword)


 


Navigate to another Form


 


Else


 


Show message


 


Edit the validation as you wish


Uh, Read this before although it didnt make some sense, until I had to read again, now if i am to Create the register form, I should create the datatable as well? So that the users can authenticate on the same datatable ... You mean??
