Fred,
Thanks so much, that works!
I didn't mention that I was trying the newer goto url format you
mentioned, but the problem was that I used the entire url one sees in
the browser when the form is viewed. For others' benefit, I was trying
to do something like:
http://remedyweb/arsys/shared/login.jsp?goto=http://webServerName/arsys/...
But when I followed your example and started the goto with /arsys, it
worked both if I specified the normal login page and when I specified a
custom one.

I can't answer for 7.5 specifically, but the format I use for 7.1.0
(and 7.6.03) is
http://webServerName/contextPath/shared/login.jsp?goto=/contextPath/forms/ARSystemServer/FormName
i.e.
http://remedyweb/arsys/shared/login.jsp?goto=/arsys/forms/arsprod/MyCustomForm
I don't believe the goto works with the older ViewFormServlet format
of a url. I think it needs to be the newer forms/server/formname
style.

go to specific form
This works for me on ARS 6.0, but not on 7.5:
I'm trying to get a url that uses a custom login page, then takes a
user to a specific form. Page 63, example 2 in the 7.5 Mid Tier
Guide shows:
http://webServerName/contextPath/shared/customLoginFile.jsp?goto=URL=&server=ARSystemServer
(I think the "=" after URL is a typo that should be omitted.)
But the default login page loads, and then the Home Page loads after
login. It's as though all the information is lost or overwritten.
1. I disabled mod_rewrite on apache to make sure that's not the
problem.
2. The "goto" url works when posted in the browser after I'm logged
in.
3. The custom login page works when I go directly to it; I can log in
to the Home Page from there.
Any ideas?
