To allow members and non-members to shop for a flight, hotel accommodations, or a rental car without the encumbrance of logging-in, AAA.com has relaxed the login requirement and moved it to just prior to the payment screen. This move enables both members and non-members to view rates before having to login.
The required login parameter can only be removed via the database. Clubs that need the login relaxed on the T2 Air Search Criteria page should contact Dave Noble at dnoble@national.aaa.com. Please allow one business day for this modification to be processed. Clubs must utilize the AES Registration or remote sign in capabilities with an independently developed registration system to take advantage of this option.
For all clubs that currently use the Enhanced Site Sign in/Registration process, the location of the Sign in/Registration process has been moved from the beginning of the AIR transaction. The process now appears to the user after the "Flight Summary Details" application page.
In order to move the AIR Sign in/Registration process, we had to remove the required login parameter from the T2 Air Search Criteria application page for all clubs that use the AES Sign in/Registration process and create the new "Sign In" Area Home Page setting in order to know where to direct the user to complete the Sign in/Registration process. This setting defaults to "Sign In" which directs the user to the AES "Sign In" application.
If you are an Independent club, you must modify this setting to your clubs URL for the Sign in/Registration page.
To allow members and non-members to shop for a rental car without the encumbrance of logging-in, AAA.com has relaxed the login requirement and moved it just prior to the payment screen. This move will enable both members and non-members to view the Hertz/AAA rates before having to login, but only members will be able to confirm reservations at this rate. Non-members will be given the normal Hertz rate.
Clubs that need the login relaxed should contact Dave Noble at dnoble@national.aaa.com. The required login parameter can only be removed via the database. Please allow one business day for this modification to be processed.

The Remote
Login functionality has been implemented for the AES Hotel capability.

of this option.
This is accomplished by relaxing the login requirements for Travel Hotel searches. To perform this action use the Content Manager application to edit the Page Attributes of the following pages to not require login:
T2 Hotel Search Criteria
T2 Hotel Search Results
If login requirements for these pages are removed, login of a registered user will be required during the booking process, prior to entering credit card information.
If you currently use the AES
Sign in/Registration
process, you are not be required to make any modifications.
If you manage your own Sign
in/Registration process and do NOT wish to change the location
of the Sign in/Registration, youare not required to make any modifications.
If you do not change the Sign in/Registration
process, you should continue to pass the encrypted "userid"
and "memid" as you do currently.
If you manage your own Sign in/Registration process and would like to take advantage of this new functionality, you must be able to accept a "Return URL" from the AES, complete the Log in / Registration process and re-direct the user back to the AES.
HOTEL
Within the Page Attributes section of Content Manager remove the check
mark 
from within
the "Requires Login" setting for the T2 Hotel Search Criteria
and T2 Hotel Search Results application pages.
Click on the module name below, which your club uses to access the Air booking engine for the instructions to move the Sign in/Registration process.
Within Content Manager, modify the Area Home Page "Sign In" setting to your clubs sign in page. Enter the full URL to your "Sign In" page, including "http" or "https", into this setting.
Remove your clubs "Sign In" process from all links to the T2 Air Search Criteria Enhanced Site application page.
Add functionality to your website to accept the "Return URL" from the Association Enhanced Site. The "Return URL" is passed back to your club when the Enhanced Site determines login is required. The "Return URL" is forwarded to the URL entered into the Area Home Page "Sign In" setting. The "Return URL" includes five additional parameters:
Base URL - Contains the base of the URL to return the user to.
URI - Contains the remaining of the URL, including the user's session information.
Page Name - Contains the page name of where the user should be re-directed to.
Association Code
Club Code
Below is an example of the "Return URL" that is forwarded for this new functionality. The five parameters are in bold green
http://www.aaamichigan.com/sign in page.html?baseurl=http:%2F%2Fwww.aaa.com& uri=%2Fscripts%2FWebObjects.dll%2FAAAOnline.woa%2Fwo%2FqT6000bZ400C54003&page=ret2pageairSelectTraveler&association=XXX&club=###
NOTE: The Association and Club parameter contains the appropriate codes. The "%2F" indicates the "/" character and needs to be converted prior to redirecting the user back to the Enhanced Site.
Complete the sign in / registration on your club's web site.
Redirect the user back to the Enhanced Web Site by creating a URL containing the five parameters from the "Return URL" Append the encrypted "userid" and "memid" parameters to this URL. Using the example from Step 3, create the format of URL to match the example below.
http://www.aaa.com/scripts/WebObjects.dll/AAAOnline.woa/wo/qT6000bZ400C54003? page=pagename&userid=encrypted userid&memid=encrypted membership number&association=XXX&club=###
NOTE: Membership number is only required if passing a member.
