Redirection

There may be times when you want to require CAS login prior to someone accessing your page. You can do this in the Redirection section of the CAS Module. Just enter the path for the page you want to redirect to the CAS login. You can also exclude pages in this section.

  1. Go to Configuration > People > CAS Settings
  2. Scroll down to the Redirection link and click to expand.
  3. Click on the specific pages radio button under Require CAS login for
  4. In the Specific pages section, enter the page you want to require CAS login. 
  5. In this example, we have redirected access to anyone who attempts to login to the Forum and/or Forum topics as well as the YaleSite Request form and other form requests.

I have tried these instructions to have http://physics.yale.edu/academics/undergraduate-studies/department-physi… be accessible by CAS log in only. I need it so that student’s can edit previously filled in forms.

Thank you,
Daphne

Hi Daphne, 

I cleared your cache and put the full URL academics/undergraduate-studies/department-physics-major-worksheet in the CAS settings so the forced login it working now. Also, there are specific settings in a Webform to Save as Draft (under Advanced Settings in the Form Settings tab). These is a Show “Save as Draft” button. This part works, but the logistics of having someone go back to their form is what gets complicated. You should make sure the URL for the form is in the confirmation email for the person completing the form.

Nancy,

Thank you for this. I believe that the form URL is in the bottom of the email they receive.
