30.1 External login

When the address of an ArchivistaBox is entered in the browser,

and 'Enter' is pressed, the IP address will automatically be complemented with a few internal parameters.

To this string of characters some other parameters can now be added in order to log in directly to a certain depth of the archive. The following, complete entry expresses the way with which the user reaches the view of the archive he needs or wants without him/her having to go through the individual steps manually. She/he wants 'localhost' for host, 'archivista' for database (with user 'Admin' who possesses password 'archivista'), and she/he wants an English layout but only document 426 to appear in the list.

The conventions are:

host host computer
db database
user user name (uid as alternative)
pw password (pwd as alternative)
lang language; the entry is en for English and de for German
go go directly to document (document number is required)

The order of the expressions between the & signs does not play a role. You can, for example, enter the password before the host. However, attention must be paid to making all necessary specifications: host and database are compulsory. 'lang' for language governs the layout, which means that for the sake of display it is compulsory, too. 'go' is not compulsory.
