Redirecting the User to a Specific Login Page and Landing Page

Updated

The administrator can modify the login page and landing page for the users after they configure an Identity Provider (IdP) for SAML authentication.

Redirect User to Login Page For Authentication

You can direct users to the IdP login page. By default, after you configure an IdP for SAML authentication, users are directed to the Web Console login page when they enter the Commvault URL in the browser address box.

Procedure

  1. On the Web Console computer, go to software_installation_directory/Apache/webapps/ROOT.

  2. Open the index.jsp file in a text editor.

  3. On the following line, replace content="0;url=webconsole with content="0;url=IDP_URL.

    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=webconsole" />

What to Do Next

Every time you update or upgrade the Commvault software, you must perform this procedure again.

Redirect User to Landing Page After IdP Initiated Login

You can change the default landing page that appears soon after you log on to the Web Console.
