Automatic Login to the CloudBlue Commerce Control Panel

CloudBlue Commerce provides a way to automatically log in to the CloudBlue Commerce control panel. This can be performed through the HTTPS request using the GET and POST methods.

The URL for logging in can look as follows:

https://BRAND_ACCESS_URL/servlet/Turbine/frm/single/event1234submit/doLogin/action/pcp.PLoginHandler

where the BRAND_ACCESS_URL parameter is the URL for accessing a brand, for example, cp.brand01.acom. Therefore, the complete URL for logging in is https://cp.brand01.acom/servlet/Turbine/frm/single/event1234submit/doLogin/action/pcp.PLoginHandler in the current example.

The following parameters must be passed to CloudBlue Commerce in the HTTP request:

user: the login of a CloudBlue Commerce user.
password: the password of that CloudBlue Commerce user.

Example of a custom login form

<html>
	<head>
		<title>Custom Login Form Example</title>
	</head>
	<body>
		<form method="POST" action="https://cp.brand01.acom/servlet/Turbine/frm/single/event1234submit/doLogin/action/pcp.PLoginHandler">
			Login: <input name="user" type="text"/>
			Password: <input name="password" type="password"/>
			<button type="submit">Login</button>
		</form> 
	</body>
</html>

The use of this example is the following:

Create the CustomLoginForm.htm file and enter the HTML code in the file.
Specify the appropriate URL in the action property of the form tag.
Open the CustomLoginForm.htm file using a web browser.
Fill out the Login and Password fields, then click Login. The CloudBlue Commerce control panel will open.

Note: The login and password of the CloudBlue Commerce user are sent in plain text form if the CloudBlue Commerce UI server is used for logging in.
