Encoding organization selection in a URL

Lindani_Phiri · November 10, 2016, 11:41am

Is it possible to craft a URL in katello that will take a user to the UI
and automatically select an organizational context?

Example, I have an organization "MY_ORG" in my katello server and I want
to create a URL that takes you to

https://<myserver>/subscriptions

in the "MY_ORG" context, assuming the user clicking on the link has
permissions to "MY_ORG" of course.

Background - I am generating organization specific emails in my plugin, and
I would like to link the user back to the server UI in the correct org.

I do not believe so today. The code appears to check only for a session
variable and not an incoming URL variable [1]. I think this would probably
be fairly easy to add support for.

theforeman/foreman/blob/develop/app/controllers/application_controller.rb#L334


      redirect_back(fallback_location: send("#{controller_name}_url"))
    else
      redirect_to hash[:redirect]
    end
  end
end


def process_ajax_error(exception, action = nil)
  action ||= action_name
  origin = exception.original_exception if exception.present? && exception.respond_to?(:original_exception)
  Foreman::Logging.exception("Failed to #{action}", exception)
  Foreman::Logging.exception("Originally caused by", origin) if origin
  message = (origin || exception).message


  render :partial => "common/ajax_error", :status => :internal_server_error, :locals => { :message => message }
end


def redirect_back_or_to(url)
  redirect_back(fallback_location: url)
end
