yes, I was aware of this, as mentioned on a previous mail, but as its neither production ready nor complete it would be a huge risk. I am beginning to think that I am attempting the impossible... After several weeks banging my head against a wall (I have a sore neck) I am giving this one more day then giving up ;-( Regards, Tony
Hi. I got some (as yet partial) answers on this on the Apache httpd forum. Check out this : http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/mod_auth_form.html In summary, and subject to more confirmation by the Apache developers : A series of new Apache modules is due to appear in Apache 2.4 (the next "production" release version). They include mod_session and mod_auth_form, which should provide a generic form-based authentication framework. These modules are currently available in the "test" version of Apache (2.34). I do not know yet if they are, or can be, back-ported for Apache 2.2.14, the current "production" version. But all in all, it seems that this provides the as-yet missing standard form-based authentication framework which would be needed by the original poster on this thread, if he wanted to resolve his issue by using an httpd front-end (which he uses anyway for other purposes right now). Well, at least it would be a start. It remains to be seen in detail how one would set this up under Apache httpd. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
