Service-provider home/splash page configuration
YesWare allows the administrator to designate the home/splash page on the
Internet the visitor will see after connecting and authenticating on the VBN.
The URL for the home/splash page is entered in the Branding Configuration
dialog as shown in Figure 1-12 on page 1-24.
Home/splash page settings
YesWare offers the following home/splash page settings to the service-
provider:
• Splash in existing window: The home/splash page appears in the same
browser window that the visitor used to authenticate. In this configuration,
the home/splash page of the service-provider serves as an Internet "portal,"
and will replace any home page configured on the visitor’s computer.
• Splash in new window: In this configuration, the home/splash page
appears in a separate browser window after the visitor authenticates.
Visitors see their own home page after the authentication page, while the
service-provider page appears elswhere on the desktop where it can be
viewed or closed by the user.
• Splash disabled: In this configuration, no splash page appears. Visitors
see their own home page after the authentication page.
Figure 1-13 shows the Elastic Networks home page that is used as the default
VBN home/splash page. See Chapter 10, “Customizing the VBN web site” for
instructions on how to configure home/splash pages.
