Accessing Portal Page Behind Login


Introduction:

This article provides instructions on how to configure a login link that redirects users to the main Portal page instead of the Dashboard after they log in. User can achieve this by modifying the login link using the ReturnUrl parameter.

Steps:


1. Obtain the login link. E.g: https://domainname.sherpadesk.com

2. Add the following HTML code for the login link:

ParameterValue
Id"login"
title"Log In"
href"/portal/logon.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fportal%2fdefault.aspx"
rel"noopener"
style"margin-top: 25px;"

2. Replace the domain and path as needed

3. Launch the URL

4. Login page is displayed

5. Enter the valid credentials

6. User is redirected to select the Main Portal page

Full Login URL:

https://domainname.sherpadesk.com/portal/logon.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fportal%2fdefault.aspx


Conclusion:

When users click the login link and enter valid credentials, they will be redirected directly to the Portal homepage (/portal/default.aspx) instead of the Dashboard.
