Grant Session

Presentation

The goal of this plugin is to evaluate different conditions before allowing a user to open a session on the portal. When a condition is not met, then the user is prompted with a customized message.

Configuration

This plugin is enabled by default.

To configure rules, go in General Parameters > Sessions > Opening conditions.

You can then create rules with these fields:

• Comment: a label for your rule, than can be used to order it (rules are evaluated by alphabetical order).

• Rule: The condition that will be evaluated. If this condition does not return true, then the session is refused.

• Message: A Perl expression that is evaluated and displayed to the user when the rule does not match. It can contain session data as user attributes or macros. Don’t forget to quote the text.

Tip

By example, you can set a message like this (including quotes): “hello $uid your are not allowed to login”
