Choosing your PD web server

Some times I have to log into a specific front end web server in our Parallel Deployment environment. Up to today, I've been editing the session cookies by hand using a Firefox extension. What a pain. So, I made a page for myself that simplifies the process:

https://paws.usask.ca/choose.html

I thought about coding up a generic script that pulls fos.server.cookie.name (etc) from LDAP, but really that's overkill - these values don't change. The list just gets longer when a new web server is added, that's about it.

View the page source, copy the page, and then change to suit your institution. Deploy it on your front end web servers in the directory $CP_ROOT/webapps/luminis and name it choose.html, and it will be available as ours is above.

Hosts File

I just modify my hosts file to point the portal domain to the specific ip address of the node I want to login to. Works for me.
