Create landing page to redirect users from impact.earthdata.nasa.gov/apt to earthdata.nasa.gov/apt

[wrynearson]

Currently, impact.earthdata.nasa.gov/apt/ doesn't work. This has been discussed previously.

The best, easiest solution seems to be to have https://impact.earthdata.nasa.gov/apt/ point to landing page that says something like:

APT — The Algorithm Publication Tool

APT has moved to a new URL: earthdata.nasa.gov/apt. You will be redirected in 3 seconds.

Success Criteria

• As an APT user, I am greeted with a nice, simple landing page when I go to impact.earthdata.nasa.gov/apt/
• As an APT user, I am automatically redirected to earthdata.nasa.gov/apt/ after a few seconds.

Branch to be pushed to MCP S3 bucket for https://impact.earthdata.nasa.gov/apt/

Hey @naomatheus, I just saw a screenshot of this locally (thanks @TimMcCauley).

Could you re-do the layout to match the following? Sorry if I wasn't clear. Please match the following :)

Let me know if you have any questions.

[wrynearson]

@naomatheus, I just went to the old url https://impact.earthdata.nasa.gov/apt/. The redirect functionality no longer works. I am shown the previous "loading" splash page, which I am stuck on.

Could you look into this to see if this is related to the recent Prod deployment, and let me know if you can fix this?

[wrynearson]

Hey @naomatheus, just flagging this ticket. It seems to still be an issue.

This issue still exists - users are abandoned at impact.earthdata.nasa.gov/apt (no redirect, no information about new URL). With web unification the impact.earthdata.nasa.gov/apt site will go away. Until then, users should get the new address.

@naomatheus flagging this again for your attention. Please let me know if you're not able to address this during this sprint. cc @batpad

I'm on it. I'll need to contact Shawn F since we do not have access to the DNS settings that point to the resources. @wrynearson

[naomatheus]

Update on this request.
I'll need permissions from MCP administrator to apply a public accessibility policy. I will update when that request can be completed.

[naomatheus]

update on this.
A ticket has been submitted to MCP to apply the necessary policy so that users can visit the redirect from any web browser.

[naomatheus]

update on this. Request to apply policy was approved.
Point of Contact says "it could be end of day today or tomorrow for a safer expectation."

Still waiting for this policy to be added. Escalating again. cc: @wrynearson

@wrynearson Is there anything I can do to help with this holdup?

[wrynearson]

Thanks @bwbaker1, let's see if @naomatheus has any updates or has ideas for how you could help

[naomatheus]

Hey @wrynearson @bwbaker1
This S3 policy is now in place, and we'll be able to wrap up this issue.
The DNS for impact.earthdata.nasa.gov/apt is managed by a third party, so I believe we can escalate this internally with Shawn F. I'll tag you in channel as well about this.

@michaelsfoley can we expedite this?

[bwbaker1]

@michaelsfoley Do you have any updates on this?

[wrynearson]

@bwbaker1 this is still blocked.
