sharepoint customizing signout.aspx

Question

i want to redirect to my default.aspx page when i signout using system account in sharepoint...is their any way to do this ? thanks...

Answer 1

Hi talhak,

To do this, edit the file at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\signout.aspx.

You will need to replace the following code with a redirect:

function _spBodyOnLoad()
[
   try
   [
      document.execCommand("ClearAuthenticationCache");
   ]
   catch (e) []
   window.close();
]

remove the window.close(); and change the information in the try/catch block to a response.redirect or window.location, etc.

Best of luck!

<%response.redirect (/default.aspx)%>

function _spBodyOnLoad()
{
   try
   {
      document.execCommand("ClearAuthenticationCache");
   }
   catch (e) { }
   //window.close();
   window.location("/default.aspx");
}

Talhak,

This section of code looks to have 2 attempts to redirect going on at the same time. Both of which have slightly invalid syntax.  For JS redirect you will us

window.location = "/default.aspx";

For the .Net redirect your syntax should be

<%Response.Redirect("/default.aspx");%>

The .net code will need to be wrapped in <% ... %> but the quotes are necessary. Keep the redirect code after the try/catch block in this case so that the session does in fact get logged out.

Brett,

i tried the above code u told me but i think sharepoint needs to close the window in order to signout, the above code is working but it doesnt sign out properly when i refresh the "default.aspx" it doesnt ask for a password so im thinking that it doesnt sign out just refreshes the default.aspx...i might be rite ? or is their any other solution to this...thanks...

Answer 5

Talhak,

Just to confirm, you still have the try/catch block with the "document.execCommand("ClearAuthenticationCache");" command, right? Verify that your redirect occurs after this code executes otherwise you will be redirected prior to the Auth Session being cleared.

Answer 7

Hi talhak,

try this:

(make sure you have not done any changes else than this)

 

//Replace the specified "PlaceHolderAdditionalPageHead" tag with the following tag

 

 

<asp:content contentplaceholderid="PlaceHolderAdditionalPageHead" runat="server">

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">

document.execCommand("ClearAuthenticationCache");

        window.location = "/Pages/Default.aspx";//for "collaboration" site template

//window.location = "/Default.aspx";//for "Team site" site template 

</script> 

</asp:content>

 

hope this helps...
