{toc} ===Automatic Login Type=== Automatic Login Type describes how a (Jetfire) user logs in. This includes the following options: * Manual * Automatic * AutoCookie This attribute is used in the [Jetfire Create Jetfire User Web Part|Web Part: Create Jetfire User] and the [Jetfire Auto-Login Web Part|Jetfire Auto-Login Web Part]. Jetfire users are typically created using one of the three methods. A website may use all three methods to log into the website. However, the [Jetfire Create Jetfire User Web Part|Web Part: Create Jetfire User] supports only one method. There the Administrator would configure multiple [Jetfire Create Jetfire User Web Part|Web Part: Create Jetfire User]s on separate pages. ====Manual Login Operation==== Manual is the default login method. This means that a user must enter their user name and password into the [Jetfire Login Web Part|Jetfire Login Web Part]. New Jetfire Users are creating using the [Jetfire Create Jetfire User Web Part|Web Part: Create Jetfire User]. The user then logs in using the [Jetfire Login Web Part|Jetfire Login Web Part]. Note: the [Jetfire Auto-Login Web Part|Jetfire Auto-Login Web Part] has a Manual option that is used for testing. (It is a time saver.) It is NOT a secure method for access to your website. ====Automatic Login Operation==== This method allows the user to be automatically logged in when the user accesses the website (where the [Jetfire Auto-Login Web Part|Jetfire Auto-Login Web Part] is located). The user name and password is encrypted in a cookie on the user's computer when the user registers as a new user. The user name and password are retrieved by the [Jetfire Auto-Login Web Part|Jetfire Auto-Login Web Part] when the user accesses the website, resulting in automatic login. ====AutoCookie Login Operation==== This method allows the user to be automatically logged in when the user accesses the website (where the [Jetfire Auto-Login Web Part|Jetfire Auto-Login Web Part] is located). The user name and password is encrypted in a cookie on the user's computer when the user confirms the new user registration. The user name and password are retrieved by the [Jetfire Auto-Login Web Part|Jetfire Auto-Login Web Part] when the user accesses the website, resulting in automatic login. The difference between Automatic and AutoCookie is when the cookie is written to the user's computer. For the Automatic method, the following occurs: # The user registers using the [Jetfire Create Jetfire User Web Part|Web Part: Create Jetfire User] with Auto Login Type = Automatic. # The cookie is written to the user's computer. # The user is automatically logged in. For the AutoCookie method, the following occurs: # The user registers using the [Jetfire Create Jetfire User Web Part|Web Part: Create Jetfire User] with Auto Login Type = AutoCookie. # An email is sent to the user confirming the registration. The email contains a link. # The user clicks the link in the email. This directs the user to the website where they registered. # The cookie is written to the user's computer. # The user is automatically logged in. ====Website Design notes==== # It is recommended that the website designer put the Jetfire Auto-Login Web Part in the Master Page for the website. Then the Jetfire user is automatically logged in whenever the user enters the site. # The user name and password are encrypted in the cookie. This is a secure technique for logging in when access to the computer is secure. # If the password is changed by the Administrator, Automatic Login fails. This may be used to disable automatic login by the user. # The user must use cookies on their computer to use the automatic or auto-cookie login methods.
