SevOne Data Insight login page may be bypassed and the login process may be automated. To automate the login process, the GraphQL authenticate endpoint is called directly to obtain a token. This token can be included in SevOne Data Insight URL to direct you to the desired location, such as a report.
Example: forcelogin.js
/* Example of Data Insight login form bypass
*
* 1). Retrieve an authentication token from the backend.
* 2). Append the token to any Data Insight URL (?token=...)
*
* The user will bypass the login form, going directly to the supplied URL.
*
* This example changes the url of an iframe named "myIframe", and this Function
* could be triggered by a button or load event:
*
* <input type="button" value="Change site" onClick="loadDI()" />
* <iframe id="myIframe" src="about:blank"></iframe>
*/
function loadDI() {
// base url of Data insight
var di_url = 'https://data-insight.example.com';
// GraphQL query to authenticate and receive token (this could be done elsewhere)
var query = JSON.stringify({
query: 'mutation { authenticate(name:"admin", password:"12345", tenant:"TENANTNAME") { token } }',
variables:null
});
// POST GraphQL query to Data Insight backend (/retinaserver)
fetch(di_url+'/retinaserver', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
body: query
}).then(function(response){
// Convert response to JSON
response.json().then(function(json){
// extract token from response
var token = json.data.authenticate.token;
// add token to Data Insight URL as a parameter (here we set an iframe URL).
// https://data-insight.sevone.com?token=...
document.getElementById('myIframe').src = di_url + '?token=' + token;
});
});
}
- An authentication token is obtained from the GraphQL server by using your credentials. If successful, an authentication token is returned in the response which by default, is valid for an hour.
- By including the token value as a URL parameter with the parameter name, token, the desired report can be accessed directly. For example, https://
/reports/ Any further activity in the application extends the session as normal.?token= .
