Forum OpenACS Q&A: Intranet Setup

Posted by John Campbell on
I've installed and configured openacs-3.2.5-2 (via rpm) but am having
a problem setting up the Intranet module in a way that makes sense for
users on our Intranet.

I've setup the Intranet module and it appears to work. My problem
concerns how authorized users get to the Intranet. For instance, if I
login as <user>, I get to "My Workspace", there is no link to the
Intranet. They have to manually type in "/intranet" after
<hostname:8000> to get to it. What I want is for users to login and
get straight to the intranet page, since "My Workspace" is not
especially useful. How would I go about doing this?

Do you have your "ns_param IntranetEnabledP" set to 1? This is in parameters/your-service.tcl file

Thank you!

I had this set to 1 in /var/opt/openacs/<servername>.ini and had not realized I had to set this parameter in /var/lib/aolserver/servers/defaultacs/parameters/defaultacs.tcl as well. I edited the file, restarted aolserver, and all is well.

Again, thanks.

Note that you use the .ini file or the .tcl.  I don't believe there is any way to use both.

Dear All,

could not show up. How to trobleshoot this problem ?

Did you make sure that the users are part of the intranet group (via /admin/ug).  ACS has this funky way of requiring you to be parts of a few diffrent groups to authenticate in /intranet .. I've never understood what they were smoking when that was first put together.. IF that does't work, yank up your logging and send a more verbose log.

I have set IntranetEnabledP=0 and Add several setup at http://127.0.0.1/admin/ug/group-type.tcl?group_type=intranet
With Intranet (number of groups defined: 7)

And then i add Group Members.
Now, it's working...

Thanks, for your help.
