== who should read this document ==
This document is written for web developers who would like to create a custom login mask for the Open-Xchange server which also can reside on an external server (not directly located in the domain of the Open-Xchange machines) or administrators who install and maintain Open-Xchange machines.
 
== Description ==
The package open-xchange-easylogin provides a servlet which expects a user name and password via GET or POST. For security reasons, GET is disabled by default and can be turned on via configuration.
 
=== Installation ===
The package open-xchange-easylogin, available in the [[CommunitySoftwareRepositories]] , needs to be installed using the os package maintaining tools (e.g. dpkg, rpm). After installation, the groupware process has to be restarted:
/etc/init.d/open-xchange restart
 
=== Configuration ===
Configuration file is:
/opt/open-xchange/etc/groupware/easylogin.properties
 
following configuration options are available (the groupware must be restarted to make changes effective):
# easylogin configuration file
# GET/POST variable name for the password
com.openexchange.easylogin.passwordPara = password
# GET/POST variable name for the login name
com.openexchange.easylogin.loginPara = login
# AJAX root path on the Open-Xchange server
# do not change unless you know what you are doing
com.openexchange.easylogin.AJAX_ROOT = /ajax
# the relative path to the Open-Xchange GUI
com.openexchange.easylogin.OX_PATH_RELATIVE = ../
# enable GET for the servlet
# possible parameters: true/false
com.openexchange.easylogin.doGetEnabled = true
 
=== Example ===
html form examples for a custom login mask (for security reasons POST should be used):
 
<pre>
<html>
<body>
 
<h1>Login via POST:</h1>
<form action="http://ox-server/servlet/easylogin" method="POST">
    <p>
    <label for="login">Username: </label>
              <input type="text" name="login" id="login"><br>
    <label for="password">Password:  </label>
              <input type="password" name="password" id="password"><br><br>
    <input type="submit" value="POST login">
    </p>
  </form>
  <h1>Login via GET:</h1>
  <form action="http://ox-server/servlet/easylogin" method="GET">
    <p>
    <label for="login">Username: </label>
              <input type="text" name="login" id="login"><br>
    <label for="password">Password:  </label>
              <input type="password" name="password" id="password"><br><br>
    <input type="submit" value="GET login">
    </p>
  </form>
  </body>
</html>
</pre>
