Hi MORE Community,

At one point, I think version 7.5 and prior, we were able to link to MX from our employee intranet and let users create their own SRs without having a login. We seem to have lost that ability in 7.6. Is anyone doing such a thing in 7.6? Even better, are you doing it with MAS 8? We're in the process of making the leap. :)

The link looks like: wcgsa.emaximo.com/maximo/webclient/login/login.jsp?login=url&username=maximoweb&password=*******&event=loadapp&value=createsr

where the * are the password. If you're doing with a link or utilizing cookies or something else, I'd love to hear how you're doing this.

Thanks in advance,

Rob

This was disabled by default but can be re-enabled if you need it temporarily by enabling the system property mxe.webclient.allowUrlLogin. The reason this was disabled is it is a security risk. Those query parameters are often logged in plain text and of course in your scenario, are visible to the end users. 

If you are on 7.6.1.2/7.6.1.3, there is a guest work center. We cover deploying the new WAR here: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/deploying-maximo-service-request-work-center-guest-account-websphere but I am struggling to find a guide that walks through the other steps you need to do in the Administration work center. I would look at the SR work center and see if it would meet your need. If so, then I would look at setting up the guest access.

Hi Rob,

Actually, I use this link and it is working good from 2013:

https://servername /Maximo/ui/login?login=url&username=YURUSERNAME&password=YOURPASSWORD

and you can add the apllication short name as you wish:

&event=loadapp&value=wotrack&             for work orders tracking

&event=loadapp&value=location&             for Location 

and so on.

regards,

Ayman
