4.1.1.2 Simple Detection of a Web Page
•
If you are using different web browsers at the same time (Internet Explorer and Firefox for example), you must create two different windows: one window for the web page displayed in Internet Explorer, and another one for the web page displayed in Firefox.
•
If the title of the web page is different depending on the language used, you must also create as much as different windows as there are different titles.
To detect a web page, SSOWatch first looks for its URL. It can then look for the presence of an additional text or of a field in the web page.
To automatically configure the necessary basic data, drag and drop the target button located in the top right of the Detection tabbed panel onto the web page that you want to detect. The data from the last targeted window are displayed in the configuration window, as shown in the following figure:
The Detection tab now shows the URL of the web page (Web page area). At this point, you can adjust the detection parameters of the selected web page by defining a variable URL (Variable URL area) or by detecting a field in the web page (Parameter of the web page area) for example. For details, see 4.1.2 Advanced Detection.
The single sign-on is triggered when all the required fields are displayed, even if the web page is not entirely loaded.

4.1.2.1 The Enable Variable URL Detection Option

Restriction
This option is only available upon the detection of a web page URL.
Description
Some websites are provided by clusters of HTTP servers (for instance Hotmail) or use the URL to keep session data (for instance Yahoo! Mail). This leads to URLs with variable parts.
To configure the detection of a web page that uses a variable URL, select Enable variable URL detection and click the Configure button.
If a variable URL detection has already been configured and you select a new URL with the Get URL button, SSOWatch checks the compatibility of the new URL with the old URL variable schema. If the schema cannot be matched, confirmation is requested before the old URL variable schema is destroyed.
The variable URL configuration window looks like this:
The selected URL is shown in the text field.
To set up the variable parts, select (with the mouse or the keyboard arrows and the SHIFT key) a part of the URL (1). The tool bar is updated and shows only the generic characters that match the selection. In the tool bar, select the wanted generic character (2).
Generic characters are represented as follows:
•
Replaces any character (one or more). Corresponds to .+ in a regular expression.
•
Replaces alphanumeric characters (one or more): lower case letters, upper case letters and digits. Corresponds to [a-zA-Z0-9_]+ in a regular expression.
•
Replaces letters (one or more): lower or upper case. Corresponds to [a-zA-Z_]+ in a regular expression.
•
Replaces digits (one or more). Corresponds to [0-9]+ in a regular expression.
If you select a generic character, you can restore the original text with the Revert action.
A variable URL must never begin with a generic character.
Example
In the previous window, a Hotmail URL is shown. Variable parts are 3 and 13 numbers after "lc" and after "law".
You only need to select 3 and click (in the toolbar), then select 13 and click again on . The field is displayed like this:

4.1.2.2 The Look for Text Option

There are cases where detection based on a window class and title is not enough to distinguish multiple windows. For example, assuming you need to configure a detection method that distinguishes between two authentication windows that are both standard dialog boxes (class "#32770") and have the same title (for example, Enter password). Such a case requires that you configure an advanced detection method performing a search for a specific text in the window’s fields.
To configure advanced detection, select in the window list the window that must be detected, and select Look for text.
Two search methods exist:
•
In the whole window: the text is searched in all the window fields.
•
In Field: allows you to specify a field where the search will be carried out. This field can be configured with the small target button by dragging and dropping it onto the target field. The field content will be automatically pasted in the look for text field.
•
The search is not case sensitive.
•
If the selected Windows control field identifier is 0xFFFF, the search is automatically extended to all the window control fields. This identifier is a special one and is used for generic static texts. It can also appear more than once in a window.
