Navigating to authenticated areas in Target

I'm trying to navigate using the visual composer to authenticated pages, but whenever I try to login in via the browse functionality, it fails and loops back to the login screen (I know this works fine in production). 

Is this an issue with Adobe or is there another workaround.

One option I was considering was saving a local version of the page and making the changes on that then applying it to the correct URL - but it doesn't look like you can edit local versions of the pages in Visual Composer - any other ideas?

Hi Elan,

Thank you for your note.

  1. If you are only looking to setup a campaign on those ‘hidden’ pages then it is pretty simple. You can navigate to the page normally on the browser and once you reach the ‘hidden’ page copy and paste the URL in the Target UI at the start of creating a campaign. Ensure Target Standard is opened in the same browser in a different tab.
  2. I am not sure if I understood the second question properly, but if the question is “is there a way to setup a test for a common domain in the URL, without worrying about the other key-value pair parameters” then the answer is Yes.

Select the “Configure” icon on the top of the Target interface and select “URL”

Then in the advanced options select the ‘URL contains xyz” condition (as shown below). So now the test would run on all the pages that match the URL condition specified irrespective of the key-value parameters that could be appended to the URL.

This is actually called Template testing and the relevant help link is here:

Hope this helps!

Hi Will,

Could you please let us know whether this issue was resolved or not?

It seems this has something to do with the below known issue: 

  • Cannot maintain the page state inside the Visual Experience Composer

    This occurs when the URL of the saved activity cannot be opened directly but can only be opened after logging in and reaching that page or after filling some prerequisite information. Target does not save the navigations a user makes inside the Visual Experience Composer, except for the final page on which changes are done all other navigation are not saved.

Thanks!

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the reply - but it still doesn't work for me. I've not used Requestly before, but have setup a HTTPS modified request but it still takes me back to the same page.

Download Requestly (Chrome extension) and modify the request.  This will do the trick.
