This login script will set profile data for the user logging in. This script is called by the runOnLogin configuration setting. For example, you can use this script to set the user alias on login.

1. Copy the doLogin.pl script to /data/WebGUI/sbin
2. Add the following line to your config file:

 /data/WebGUI/sbin/doLogin.pl --configFile=dev.localhost.localdomain.conf --user=^FormParam(username); --param 'alias'=^FormParam(alias);

    3. Alter the login template to include a new field:

 <tr>
    <td class="formDescription" valign="top">Alias</td>
 <td><input id="alias_formId" name="alias" value="" size="8" maxlength="255" type="text" /></td>
 </tr>

You can alter multiple user profile fields by using multiple param options.

Happy Hacking!

Hi Arjan,

We needed this to allow a client who runs a call center to change the phone extension when a user logs in rather than having the user go to preferences everytime and change it. They are a large center and employees do not sit at the same extension from day-to-day.

This information is then used to populate the InOutBoard. This has been a useful solution for them.
