Important URLs

The table below summarizes the important URLs for accessing AppBoard.

Component	URL	Description
Home URL	/	Launches either AppBoard or enPortal, depending on the Home URL configuration (see "Home URL" section below)
AppBoard	/enportal/ab/home	If the User's default role is portalAdministration, this will launch the AppBoard Builder. Otherwise, this will launch the AppBoard Viewer.
enPortal	/enportal/home	Launches enPortal
AppBoard Builder	/enportal/ab/home?builder	If user 's Role is portalAdministration, this will launch the AppBoard Builder. Otherwise, this will launch the AppBoard Viewer.
AppBoard Viewer	/enportal/ab/home?viewer	Explicitly launch the Viewer, useful for administrators.
AppBoard Builder Safemode	/enportal/ab/#safeMode=1	Launches the AppBoard builder in safe mode by disabling all stacks. The administrator can then access the configuration panels to delete or edit the broken component.
Dispatcher	/enportal/servlet/pd	Accepts a number of parameters to allow for login credentials to be passed in and redirection (e.g. login, then redirect to a specific stack, or custom html page, etc...). See the section below for more information on the dispatcher.

Home URL

The Home URL is used to determine what URL to send a User to when a full path is not provided in the URL, or in cases such as when a User switches to a different Role. By default AppBoard is configured to have itself as the home URL, but in some cases where enPortal is the main interface for end-users then enPortal can be configured as the home URL.

To override the default configuration, and have enPortal as the default home:

1. edit the [INSTALL_HOME]/server/webapps/enportal/WEB-INF/config/appboard.properties file.
2. find the following line: dispatch.loginredirect=/enportal/ab/home
3. and change it to use the URL: /enportal/home

The default home URL is a global setting that is not configurable by user, role, or domain - however if it's necessary to have a user login directly to enportal or appboard then they can bookmark the AppBoard or enPortal URLs as shown in the table above.
