Dear All, Thanks, I think my problem is needing a technique for different redirections in the scenario which user first visits weblogin page; User from group A must be redirected to portal A and user from group B to be redirected to portal B; For example, Defining a variable such as "Remote-Portal" that can help to redirect; Or getting everyone's portal URL from back-end database?(not a good way)
I am really sorry if my problem may not be related so much to cosign basis.
