Designing additional input forms

This step is optional.

You can design additional forms to validate or process data to be submitted to /pkmssu.form. These forms can be used to assist the administrator by populating some of the entries on the switch user form.

Some examples are:

• An administrator might have chosen to have different destination URLs, to be accessed based on the user identity. Another form could be written to build and present a list of these URLs, from which the administrator could select the appropriate entry.
• A form could be developed to call another program, such as a CGI script, to supply a list of user identities for whom switch user is allowed. This list could help administrators determine if access to a user identity through switch user is allowed.
• A form could be developed to display a list of user identities for whom switch user is not allowed. This list would be based on the memberships of the su-excluded and securitygroup groups.
