Approve account before login to secure zone

http://trippnyc.businesscatalyst.com/register.html
I've followed the advice in this posting (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4250010) to limit a user's access to a secure zone until an acocunt is approved.
I can't seem to get the approval process to work. Hoping that there is an option either in the webform or the system setting that I am over looking.
Could someone please explain a best case scenario for a "typical" secure zone approval process for allowing a user to register for a secure zone? What steps the administrator should take and if there should be a workflow or anything else.
Thanks!

Hi Cody,
So you'd setup your form to collect customer's data, including username and password, but not subscribe them to a secure zone. Once the customer submits the form you as a site admin would look at the form submission and make sure it fulfils your criteria, then click on Subscriptions and add the customer to a secure zone manually.

Secure Zone Customer Activity Tracking

I'm new to Business Catalyst, so this may be obvious to some of you, but I have a question about tracking customer activity on my Business Catalyst site. I can track logins into Secure Zones, but only whether/not the customer has logged into the site.
What I'd really like to do is track a customer's usage of the site - in other words, I'd like to see what a customer's activity looks like on the site. So if a customer goes from Home (secure zone login), to About, to whatever other page. I suppose how much time they spend is too granular, but if I could figure out how to track their site usage, it'd really help me with a client. The only way I can see how to do it on my own is to require users to log in to every single page, which compromises far too much usability.
So, how about it? Is there anyone that can provide a suggestion, either using the BC interface, or using some other type of tracking mechanism?

BC can't do that out of the box. You may want to use Google Analytics for that.

List secure zones a user can access

I want to be able to, on a user's account page, list the secure zones that they have access to as well as link them to each of these secure zone landing pages. What is the easiest way to accomplish this?

If I simply input {module_subscriptions} it lists the user's secure zones in an unordered list along with the price of that subscription and the frequency of the billing cycle. I only want the list to include the names of the secure zones as links. How can I do this?

Secure Zone login form logs user in who isn't registered for it?!

I have a client who runs an eCommerce site through BC. We have a secure zone setup for his site and he wants to review and approve users before they are given access. There is good reason for this so please don't bring up counter-points as it is non-negotiable.
Anyway, the secure zone registration form basicly creates a user CRM record and allows them to select a username and password. I've instructed to client to continue into the CRM and select the checkbox next to the appropriate secure zone in order to authorize the account to login. As far as we know this has been working until yesterday. Now, when somebody who has an account but it is not approved yet tries to login, they receive the form error as to be expected. However they get logged into some phantom secure zone.
I say "phantom" zone because the actual registration form doesn't subscribe them to a secure zone, it's manual (as previously stated). This is a pretty big issue as a major reason for doing this is that my client doesn't want his prices visible to the public. Only after the person is in the secure zone are prices visible. Any help would be much appreciated. I know BC launched a new update recently which my be a contributing factor....thanks in advance!

Hi Mike,
This has always been the case.
IF you have a username and password and login to a site you are logged in. You may very well not be part of a securezone but you are logged in. This is why hiding and showing content soley based on the isloggedin module is a very thoughtful process as you can not show content based on this knowledge.
This has nothing to do with the update, you probably only just noticed this behavior but this has been the case since BC born.

Muse + BC, adding a sign up form in a secure zone, and a individual my account secured page

Hello,
I having a lot of trouble in the following task I need to do in Adobe Muse and integrate in Business Catalyst.
1) I need to create a contact form page (with username and login)
2) I need that this contact form integrates with BC to store my subscribers infos
3) Then, I need to create a login and username page that when my client logs in, the info that he previously filled in appears to him (as a My Account page).
4) Of course, this My account page must a in a secure zone area, but each client should have his own personal My account page.
Is this possible? I think it is. (Muse Theme site is an example)
Thanks you for the help!!
Carlos

Hi Carlos
Answering the questions :
1) Publish the site to BC and then create a form on BC end , assign to a secure zone ( which you will have to create ).
2) You can register users in your site using same form.
3) Use login form in page where user can login , landing page for secure zone can be made as web app page. Web app needs to be created for customer accounts and in layout you can use different tags to show cases information which user has submitted etc.
4) Web app is the way out.

How do I redirect a secure zone login form with javascript?

I would like to redirect what page a user goes to after filling out the secure log in form. I would change the landing page of the secure zone, but I need a log in form to go to a different page of the site. I would also create a seperate secure zone, but I have almost 3000 subscribers and it would be very time consuming to add all those users to this new zone.
I would like to redirect the user (using the form from a secure zone) to a different page other than the landing page of the log in form. How do I do this with javascript?
I saw this page: http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/598/bc_598.html#main_Logging_into_different_Secure_Zones_ according_to_ID_number but couldn't make sense of it for my current situation. (I don't need multiple zones, just the form to redirect to a different page after submission)
<form action="https://redlakewalleye.worldsecuresystems.com/ZoneProcess.aspx?ZoneID=12369&Referrer={module_siteUrl,true,true}&OID={module_oid}&OTYPE={module_otype}" method="post" onSubmit="return checkWholeForm52938(this)" name="catseczoneform52938">
            <div class="form">
            <div class="item"><label for="SZUsername">Username</label><br />
            <input type="text" maxlength="255" id="SZUsername" name="Username" class="cat_textbox_small" /></div>

            </div>
            <script type="text/javascript" src="/CatalystScripts/ValidationFunctions.js"></script>
            <script type="text/javascript">
                //<![CDATA[
                function checkWholeForm52938(theForm){
                    var why = "";
                        if (theForm.Username) why += isEmpty(theForm.Username.value, "Username");
                        if (theForm.Password) why += isEmpty(theForm.Password.value, "Password");
                        if (why != ""){alert(why);
                            return false;
                   // Add the redirect code here?
                    theForm.submit();
                    return false;
                //]]>
            </script>
        </form>

I've been working on the same thing and have nearly solved it with these tutorials:
http://www.bcgurus.com/tutorials/re-directing-users-to-the-correct-secure-zone
http://www.bcgurus.com/tutorials/building-a-better-secure-zone-login-page
The first tutorial will let a person continue on to the page he/she was attempting to access. For example, if your site offers learning lessons in a secure zone... A visitor could click on a lesson, get prompted to login and then be redirected to that particular lesson instead of the landing page for the secure zone. The script in the tutorial also accommodates general logging in: "if the person wasn't going somewhere specific then send him/her here (landing page, user account, whatever).
Might be worth checking out the free BCGurus trial or joining for a month.

Secure Zone Login Issues: It worked great and now just stopped.

The secure zone on my client's site worked great for about a month and now it just stopped. All of a sudden it won't let us type into the username and password boxes. We can click on the "remember me" button and the "submit button" but not type. I've tried deleting and redoing the code and still nothing. Our issue is occuring most when used with Chrome's browser. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks for your reply, Liam. Oddly enough I was just reading your expectional contributor profile that popped up in my side collumn.
Here is the link to the site. The login works fine in Safari, it's just a problem with Chrome I believe.

The login area is in the bottom right of the footer titled "Employee Login."

Mobile - Secure zone login issues

Hi All,
I'm able to log in to BC sites with secure zones using a samsung galaxy s1 and iphone pretty consistently however when using a samsung galaxy s2
I can't login - tested over 3 sites so I know it's not the code on the page interfering with login.
Anyone else have issues logging in to secure zones with mobiles?
Thanks,
Nathan

Sure,
Using the Default browser on
Samsung Galaxy s2
firmware version : PDA:LP8 / PHONE:LPS / CSC:LP4 (XSA)
firmware version : PDA:LPW / PHONE:LQ6 / CSC:LP6 (XSA) upgraded to see if it would help but no luck
1. Click the link to login (either on login form or just clicking on a link to a page within the zone I'm trying to log in to).
2. Enter correct username and password (multiple testings and changes of password have been tested)
3. In either case, URL will change to /Default.aspx?PageID=######
Sometimes it will show /Default.aspx?PageID=######&Error=Thank+you+for+logging+in.
On some of the websites I've tried - Creating a new customer on the samsung galaxy s2 will register the new user for the zone - but the form will not allow the user to be logged directly in on submission - error page " We're not able to log you in " appears however the user is created, assigned to zone and can be used fine on a desktop.
Content that should be accessible once logged in - isn't (example. Login changes to logout, customer name "Hi Firstname lastname" won't display etc. because it's just not logging in.)
Zone subscription is checked, works on Samsung Galaxy s1 as it should.

Can i change the text of submit button on a login box of a secure zone?

Can i change the text of the submit button in the login box of a secure zone?
Or, maybe, i can replace the button with the image?
So, can this be done, and how to achieve this?
Any suggestions are welcome.

Ok, this is the description:
http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/partner/add-secure-area-your-site.html
"You can replace the form submit button with an image by clicking the Use Image Form Button."
Can please anyone tell me where can i find this "Use Image Form Button"?

Multiple Secure Zones with a Single Login Form

Hello, I've created a login form and 20 different secure zones. I am needing to redirect users to their own personal secure zone automatically once they login (without the need for them to choose the secure zone) Can you please let me know how this can be done? Thank you much

Hi
The main difference is :
Using generic secure zone login option : When customer logs in , he stays on the same page. I mean , Generic secure zone in BC doesn't support redirect to other pages . However, he will have access to all the pages that were in other secure zones to which he actually subscribed to.
Using Specific secure zone login form, you have option to redirect the user to specific landing page and user will have access to data that is placed in this specific secure zone.
You may locate the Generic secure zone login form in toolbox > site modules > secure zones > sign in form > as shown in below screenshot :

Secure Zone Login Reporting

Question:
I have searched but can not find anyway to do this. I have a school site that has sent out secure zone passwords to all the parents. They would like to know which parents have actually logged in to check out the secure zone. Is there anyway to run a report on this?
I know this info shows up in the live feed but only recent activity shows there so that is not much help. Any ideas?
Answer:
There is no way you can view who is logging in other than in the live feed or recent activity in the customer tab. However you can view the secure zone usage which is under the secure zone action box.

Hi,
Inspect the form and you'll see that it draws its style from ModuleStyleSheets.css. Update those styles in any way you want: http://goo.gl/T0We6

Is it possible to access a secure zone using the login details of another application?

Given this scenario: A member signs in to an application on another platform (e.g. a MySQL application). Is it possible for that member to access a secure zone of an associated Business Catalyst website without needing to sign in again?
For example, a BC wesbite is set up to promote a MySQL application. The BC website has help files that only members can access. The member has logged in to the MySQL application and clicks a link to view the help files. The member is forwarded to the help files within the BC secure zone without needing to sign in to the secure zone.
I guess this scenario is based on the following:
That the other platform and the BC website are able to share the same member log details.
The other platform is able to communicate with BC to inform BC that the user has signed in, and this is the member’s log in details.
That the above can be done securely.
I’m keen to know if this can be done, and how it would be done. Or if there's a better/different way to achieve the same result. I look forward to your reply.

hi injpix ,
Thanks for reply. I am using flex builder 3. and i want to access .proerties file from flex application(web application) . The reason behind using .properties file is that user should be able to modify any property value in that file. This file should not be embeded in application swf means any change in .properties file need not compile flex application. This file would be under the web context where swf file reside in web server. It should be accessible from flex application at run time.
Is there any way to implement this. If any one know please reply.
Thanks.

Why do I get these messages "logged in but not to a specific secure zone"

Could anyone please explain why this messge would appear on the dashboard
'username' logged in but not to a specific secure zone
instead of
'username' logged in to Member Only Area secure zone
On this website, customers can only log on to a secure zone, and there is only one secure zone.
Thanks

Hi Mario,
Thank you for your response.
There are only two places users could log in, and none have ZoneID=-1
I tested both options with one of my own (non admin account) login, and none produced the above message.
action="/ZoneProcess.aspx?ZoneID=51&OID=5459507&OTYPE=1"
action="/ZoneProcess.aspx?ZoneID=51&OID=5459507&OTYPE=1"
both ZoneID's are the same
What is weird though, only one specific user account is generating that message.
At this stage the user has not complained about not being able to access his/her data yet.
My only concern was that this could be a possible security risk.
Thanks

ISE 1.2 and Posture Report Before Login

Hi everyone,
Is it possible for the ISE 1.2 NAC/Posture agent to submit a posture report before user login on a Windows desktop system?
We're trialling ISE 1.2, performing machine based authentication using EAP-TLS/Certificates. On top of this we are also using the posture agent and do not grant access until a 'compliant' posture report is received.
Currently when a desktop powers up the posture status is 'pending' and this does not change until the user logs in, the NAC agent submits a successful posture report. This can take quite a few minutes leaving the user in a state of limbo where they have logged in to the computer but they must wait for the posture report.
I see the NacAgent service runs as system, but the NACAgentUI.exe does not and only starts with the user logs in.
Thanks,
Mark

That is correct, the nac agent is unaware of what policies exist in your ISE design. It's sole purpose is to start when the services allow it to do so and then send the information about the services and AV information it can gather so ISE can make a decision on whether the client is compliant or not compliant, it can then take direction on how to remeidate the client when it fails. There is nothing you can configure from ISE that will allow you to run the nac agent before user login.
In the end when the nac agent makes into the anyconnect secure mobility client you might have hope there since there are some start before login vpn features, but I do not see the nac agent adopting this any time soon. You should however still work with your Cisco Account team on doing some research with the BU on your behalf, this could benefit alot of nac customers.
thanks,
Tarik Admani

Secure Zone - Team manager seeing team member activity

We are setting up a secure zone where there are team managers, each with multiple team members.
We need the team manager to be able to see their own activity - plus have access to their team members' activity/accounts.
Is this possible?
Paul

Activity in terms of cases etc. If they have seperate logins then NO. This is secure information and private to that person so you can not access that.

Approve account before login to secure zone
