There are various use cases for Green Screens web terminal integration. For example, some clients want's to open a web terminal from another web application.
The simplest approach is shown below. An Example will generate URL to GS server with encoded login parameters which loaded terminal will use to create secured connection.
var opt = {uuid:0, host:'DEMO'};
var data = btoa(JSON.stringify(opt));
var url = 'http://localhost:8080/lite?d=0&k=0#' + data;
var winterm = window.open(url, "webterminal", "height=600,width=800");
NOTE: Encoded "opt" parameter is NEVER sent over the network. Data is a hashtag which browsers do not send. It is just a way of how to pass parameters into a loaded web terminal application. Once, processed, hashtag is removed from URL.
All supported parameters are shown below.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| uuid | Virtual host group |
| host | Virtual host name |
| displayName | Session display name |
| printerName | Printer/ Outq to attach |
| user | User for bypass sign-on |
| password | Password for bypass sign-on |
| program | Program to start on sign-on |
| menu | Menu to start on sign-on |
| lib | Program/Menu library |
| codePage | Valid EBCIDIC code page |
NOTE: If using this approach for bypass sign-on data is not protected in generated URL. Be sure that hashtag value in generated URL is not shared or sent over the network. GS Web Terminal and Chrome extension use URL encryption as a safe method for activating Web Terminal.
