Google login / custom login page / logout

[tford]

These steps describe various changes necessary to get Google login working. It also addresses where a BSV points the logout / timeout links to allow users to easily log back in.

1) Register to allow AwareIM to use Google / Facebook / Twitter login per instructions in AwareIM's HowTo.PDF

2) Modify Logon.html & set up Logon pages for each BSV on your server. In our case, I add:
a) system logo for this BSV (this makes it look professional)
b) sign in with Google graphic & sign in with Facebook graphic. Google login graphic is linked to this URL:
http://awareim.DomainName.com:8080/Awar ... Mode=false
c) Text note: "Important note: Google Chrome browser is strongly recommended for the this System"

This login page is named: logon_BsvName.html

3) Point the timeout URL to:
http://awareim.DomainName.com:8080/Awar ... vName.html

4) The logout menu options in the BSV all point to this URL (same as #3):
http://awareim.DomainName.com:8080/Awar ... vName.html

Note that the logon page modified in #2 above is referenced in both #3 and #4.

5) When complete, Login to the BSV can be accomplished by going to either:

a) Google login directly to a BSV:
http://awareim.DomainName.com:8080/Awar ... Mode=false

Note that I build an alias in our CMS system that is a shortcut to this URL. It's in the format:
http://www.DomainName.com/BsvNameG

b) Login page specific to this BSV:
http://awareim.DomainName.com:8080/Awar ... vName.html

Note that I build an alias in our CMS system that is a shortcut to this URL. It's in the format:
http://www.DomainName.com/BsvName


Important Note: The customized login HTML pages and associated graphics need to be stored in a backup folder & copied over to the live AwareIm folder each time a new version of AwareIM is installed.
