Thanks for the info. I was actually hoping to avoid all that as what I am setting up is a URL for clients to view website statistics. The stats are automatically generated as static html files. The plan was to keep it all simple by having a single site with a single login page and a context for each client's stats. Our staff could log in to the root context and navigate to any of the contexts, but each client would only be able to get to the stats for their own site by being constrained to their own context. I guess the easiest way is going to be either to copy, or symlink the login.jsp to each context :-( The alternative will be to write something more complex based on a root-level login.jsp and some sort of redirection based on username - complexity I was hoping to avoid.
