View source for Bypassing the Login Page

If you need to bypass '''Login Page Scripting''' that you have added to the Login Page, you use the following type of URL:

http://Alias.smartsimple.biz/exlogin.jsp?alias=alias&user=username&password=password

* Note: '''exlogin.jsp''' is Case Sensitive 


'''IMPORTANT:''' There are security implications with using this technique. See below.


You will need to use this technique when:

* The '''Login Page Scripting''' is not functioning correctly
* When you '''Clone''' a copy of [[SmartSimple]] and the original copy contains a Login Script preventing you from accessing the Clone. 

Note: this technique should not be used to create as [[Browser|browser]] shortcut, as the [[Username|username]] and [[Password|password]] are exposed.


'''This method of accessing your instance can be disabled in your [[Global Settings]] > [[Login_%26_Security_Settings#Disable_External_Login_Shortcut|Login & Security Settings]].'''

==Security Implications==
Using this technique can expose your password. Accordingly it should only be used when necessary.
* '''You should change your password immediately after using this technique'''
* The URL being opened may be available to other users on the same machine on which you are browsing. 
* The URL retrieved from the remote machine may be logged elsewhere (ie: Proxy Server history, DNS server). 
* Your browser history may retain the URL including your password.

To remove these possible security concerns this method of accessing SmartSimple can be disabled via [[Global Settings]] > [[Login_%26_Security_Settings#Disable_External_Login_Shortcut|Login & Security Settings]].'''
