Disabling Fields on the VPN Client User Interface

By default, when a user submits a login form, various controls on the login form are disabled. This behavior can be customized by adding the following attributes in the respective XML or JSP file:

• disableFormOnSubmit: This parameter disables all form controls, such as text fields or drop-down lists, present on a form. You must specify this parameter in the actionName attribute of a button control. When a user clicks a button with actionName attribute set to disableFormOnSubmit, then all fields present on that form are disabled.

  The following code snippet shows the usage of the disableFormOnSubmit attribute.

  <button name="<%= strProps.getString("application.button.LOGIN") %>" actionName="disableFormOnSubmit,signChallenge,rememberUsername,storeRemember Fields,submitPage" colspan="1" padding-left="10" padding-right="20" hotkey="<%= strProps.getString("application.button.LOGINHOTKEY") %>" changedName="<%= strProps.getString("aidauth.button.changedname.LOGIN") %>" default="true"/>
  

• disableOnSubmit: This parameter is used to specify whether a control would get disabled or not if the disableFormOnSubmit parameter is specified for a button. By default, all fields on a form are set to be disabled when the button with the disableFormOnSubmit parameter is clicked. However, you can change this behavior by setting disableOnSubmit attribute to false for any form field that you do not want to disable when the disableFormOnSubmit method runs.

  The following code snippet shows the usage of the disableOnSubmit attribute.

  <button name="<%= strProps.getString("application.button.CANCEL") %>" actionName="closeApplication" colspan="1" padding-left="0" padding-right="10" hotkey="<%=strProps.getString("application.button.CANCELHOTKEY") %>" disableOnSubmit="false"/>
  

• changedName: This parameter is used to specify a new label or text for a form button after a user has clicked the button. For example, if you want the text on the Login button to change to Connecting after a user has clicked the Login button, you can use the changedName attribute to achieve this.

  The following code snippet shows the usage of the changedName attribute.

  <button name="<%= strProps.getString("application.button.LOGIN") %>"     actionName="disableFormOnSubmit,signChallenge,rememberUsername,storeRememberFields,submitPage" colspan="1" padding-left="10" padding-right="20" hotkey="<%= strProps.getString("application.button.LOGINHOTKEY") %>" changedName="<%= strProps.getString("aidauth.button.changedname.LOGIN") %>" default="true"/>
