not sure if the onOpen method will be fired if a session already exists in another tabpanel. But it will look more or less the same as I showed you in the other method. ---

indeed!, use https, or use for example not a password, but an generated UUID-token… ---

I used a UUID myself in a kind of blog-system. Login to the solution was only validated by the existance of the UUID of a certain blog-item This case the UUID is different for each deeplink to the solution. (as long as your pointing to different blogrecords…) ---

(as long as your pointing to different blogrecords…) Yes, we are using UUID for the username. The password is from the URL is encrypted. I just sited an example. ![:)]( "Smile") ---

It is still not working. ![:(]( "Sad") What I am missing? I would need to call processBackup after a successful login using the parameters passed from the deeplink. This is how I did it smart client deeplink url [http://localhost:8080/servoy-client/backuprestore.jnlp?m=start\_autobackup&a=c:\dbbackup&username=B33BCB08-C4B3-4197-A57F-C924128D5AF4&password=qwerty](http://localhost:8080/servoy-client/backuprestore.jnlp?m=start_autobackup&a=c:%5Cdbbackup&username=B33BCB08-C4B3-4197-A57F-C924128D5AF4&password=qwerty) in solution backuprestore loginSolutionName = login mustauthenticate=unchecked solution onopen = globals.backuprestore\_onopen(event) create start\_autobackup in globals.js ```auto function start_autobackup() { application.output("start_autobackup") } function processBackup() { } ``` in login solution mustauthenticate=checked onload form login, assign onLoadBypassLogin(event) found in login.js ```auto function onLoadBypassLogin(event) { application.output("onLoadBypassLogin"); var _arg0 = arguments[0] application.output(_arg0) var param1 = arguments[1]['username'] var param2 = arguments[1]['password] application.output("param1="+param1) application.output("param2="+param2) if(security.authenticate(LGN_SOLUTION, LGN_METHOD_LOGIN, [param1, param2)])) { return true; } } ``` ---

Very Confusing! Can I ask a simple question about this deeplinking with advanced security: if i link to http://{url}/ss/s/mysolution/a/myargument and i have a login solution call my solution\_login, which is a module of my solution with advanced security. then will the onOpen method of the login solution return application.output(arguments[0]) as ‘myargument’ ?? In order to restore a webclient deeplink, I am finding it hard to get to first base, which appears to be the need to have my argument passed into the Login modules onOpen. It wont go to the solution onOpen as this is only triggered after login! All help appreciated. David ---

Solved! Simple guidance for anyone else trying this in Servoy 6. 1. You must not use a method simply a single argument (but can split it with a eliminator: [http://www.yoursite.com/servoy-webclien … -argument2](http://www.yoursite.com/servoy-webclient/ss/s/yoursolutionname/a/argument1-!-argument2) (I use -!- as a deliminator as no one would be stupid enough to put that in a normal sentance!) 2. This argument is received by the Login module in your advanced security solution in the onOpen method ```auto function CxLogin_onSolutionOpen(arguments) { if (arguments){ var args=arguments.split('-!-') globals.login_username=args[0] globals.login_password=args[1] //This runs a login from deeplink - used to process corex local cases application.output(globals.login_username+ ' '+globals.login_password) forms.login.bypasslogin(); } } ``` 1. I have used a method on my login form to bypass the normal login script as I was using this from another solution and didn’t want to see a visual output. If you wanted to login then there would be nom harm in actually triggering your normal login method as you have pre-populated in this case the username and password. 2. Following that the onOpen method of your main solution will then be triggered as normal. [Previous page](https://forum.servoy.com/t/deeplink-login/11630.md?page=1)
