Hi Arthur, I guess the href in this line

 

<a href="http://localhost:8080/dhis/dhis-web-visualizer/index.html"; onclick=autologging();>VEA Dashboard</a>

 

will redirect the user to the href url before the script has logged him in. Try

 

<a href="#" onclick="javascript:autologging();">VEA Dashboard</a>

 

instead and see if it works.

Hi Devs,

 

I am trying to make an app that performs auto-login into DHIS2(bypassing the login screen and landing the user to the Data Visualizer app) through a script. 

I have created a user and assigned this user to a public user role that has the authority of “Viewing the Data Visualizer module” only.

 

With the code below, I am still being landed to the DHIS2 login page, even though I have specified the login to be done through my script.

 

I am not getting any errors in the console nor even the network tab.

 

What could be the problem? See the snippet codes below

 

 

HTML Code

===========

<html>

<header>

             <title>VEA Public Website</title>

             <link rel="stylesheet" href="styles/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

             <script type="text/javascript" src="js/plugins/jquery-1.11.1.min.js"></script>

             <script type="text/javascript" src="js/autologin.js"></script>

</header>

<body>

             <header>

                           <nav id="navg">

                                        <ul class="nav-list">

                                               <li><a href = "#">Home</a></li>

                                               <li><a href = "#">About Us</a></li>

                                               <li><a href="http://localhost:8080/dhis/dhis-web-visualizer/index.html"; onclick=autologging();>VEA Dashboard</a>

                                               <li><a href = "#">Contact Us</a></li>

                                        </ul>

                           

                           </nav>

             </header>

             <h3><center>Public VEA Website</center></h3>

</body>

</html>

 

 

Script Code : autologin.js

===========

 

function autologging(){

       setTimeout(function() {

           $.ajax({

            type: "POST",

            url: "http://localhost:8080/dhis/dhis-web-commons/security/login.action";,

            cache: false,

            async:false,

            crossDomain: true,

          //  contentType: "application/text",

            data: { j_username: "vea_public", j_password: "V3apublic" }

           }).done(function( data,textStatus,xhr ) {

            alert( 'Welcome to the VEA Dashboard!' + xhr.status );

          window.location ="http://localhost:8080/dhis/dhis-web-visualizer/index.html";;

           });

         }, 3000);

}
