Extranet Guard

The Extranet Guard plug-in uses Data Query Definitions and rules defined through XSL to create extranets. When executed the configuration (Data Queries and XSL) will yield a XML document, that controls the flow of pagedisplay.

The plug-in works much like the Data Query XSL Render plug-in, with the exception that the resulting XML/XHTML is interpreted, rather than just returned to the display.

The following XML nodes is recognized:

• <ABORT />
  Aborts the page display.
• <COOKIEVAR>name= value</COOKIEVAR>
  Sends a temporary cookie to the HTTP client. The cookie disapears when the HTTP client is closed.
• <COOKIEVARSTORED>days; name=value</COOKIEVARSTORED>
  Sends a stored (for x days) cookie to the HTTP client.
• <SESSIONVAR>name= value</SESSIONVAR>
  Sets an ASP.NET Session variable.
• <REDIRECT>URL</REDIRECT>
  Redirects the HTTP client to another URL.
• <HTTP401 />
  Sends a "HTTP 401 Access denied" provoking a login box on the HTTP client.
• <OUTPUT>xhtml</OUTPUT>
  Writes the content to the display - normal XHTML output.  If the output contains a <Debug /> node, a "show xml" button will appear when rendered in preview mode. See Render XML debug view for more information.

REDIRECT and HTTP401 raises an implicit ABORT - any following directives are ignored.

All runtime errors within the Extranet Guard plug-in result in an implicit ABORT.
