[ome-users] OME login behaviour after enabling public data

[Aleksandra Tarkowska]

Hi Jake

All works fine, you just need one more filter webclient/logout/


bin/omero config set omero.web.public.url_filter  '^/(?!webadmin|webclient/logout/|webclient/action/\w+|webclient/annotate_(file|tags|comment))'

When user go to https://foo.bar.blah.fred/webclient/ will see public data. When click logout will be redirected to login page. Then can see its own data. When log out will be redirected back to the public page.

Thanks for pointing it out. Certainly it needs to go to the doc

Kind regards
Ola

Subject: [ome-users] OME login behaviour after enabling public data

Hi all,

After enabling a public data sharing mechanism like so:


bin/omero config set omero.web.public.url_filter '^/(?!webadmin|webclient/action/\w+|webclient/annotate_(file|tags|comment))'

By default, our old OMERO URL:

https://foo.bar.blah.fred/webclient/

Is simply the public data view of the web client. No login page, just the web view.

Unfortunately, from a usability perspective, something goes a bit "wrong" here. If I then go to the top right hand corner and click "logout" (assuming I'll then be bounced to a login pane), I end up back at the same URL with no user-feedback.

Ideally, if I am sitting at the public data page, pressing logout will kick my browser to:

http://your_host/webclient/login/.

I've been rifling through django but can't find a way to do this, yet. This is really about usability and making it clean/sane for users.

Possibly another thought. Have two URL's:

http://your_host/webclient/public/
http://your_host/webclient/private/

With the "logout" button always dumping you to the /private/ version. Of course, I do appreciate that the "logout" button returns to the same public facing page currently because it IS logged out. Just a question of how intuitive that is for users, really!

Thoughts or suggestions to implement what I've suggested above are appreciated, as always.

Regards,

-jc
