Punch-Out
Punch-out is a feature that allows the user to jump from some other Web page into the Web UI. When this occurs, the user is logged on automatically and lands directly on the configured page. The ability to navigate from the page is restricted. In certain cases, fields on the page are populated automatically. To use the punch-out feature, you need to set the following properties in the precision.properties file:
precision.singlelogin.key=*XMLPUNCHOUT
precision.login.method=trax
To reach the Web UI, you must send a http post request to the URL, with the XML posted as a request parameter.
"/<Precision Web UI-location/<contextPath>/htm/punchout-autologin.htm
By default, the name of the request parameter is XMLDATA. To change the name of the request parameter, you must change the trax property.
trax.login.punchout.xmlparametername=parametername
As part of punching out, the other system sends an XML message to the Web UI. The XML contains details of sign-on information, the page to load, and default data to use. The Web UI processes the XML message and opens the specified page. If there is a problem with the XML, an error page is loaded. A test punch-out page is available at /precision/jsp/ship/punchout-test.jsp.
