[opencms-dev] Web Users control accessing pages

[Marcus Redeker]

I had problems with WebUsers using the browser popup box for passwords.
I created my own login.jsp which is using the OpenCMS API to login.
There are two methods one for webuser and one for OpenCMS user. I have
no problems now.

Subject: [opencms-dev] Web Users control accessing pages


I've created some WebUser with this code :
-----------------------------
 CmsJspActionElement cms = new CmsJspActionElement(pageContext, request,
response); 
 CmsObject cmso = cms.getCmsObject(); 
 CmsUser createdUser = cmso.addWebUser(.......
-----------------------------
I associated them with a Group "WebUsers".
Then I create an other web user and associated it with the "WebHidden"
group.
I create some pages and directories "pubblic" and others visible only to
"WebHidden" group.
 
When I try to access the "private" pages logged as a user in the
"WebUsers" group I got the login popup, and it's OK.
When I try to access the "private" pages logged as a user in the
"WebHidden" group I see the pages, and it's OK.
If after that I login as a "WebUsers" user and try to see a "private"
page I can see it a first time, then if I try to reload it I got the
login popup, and THIS IS THE PROBLEM NUMBER 1 !!!!
 
Why I can see tha page the first time ?
 
The browser setting is "Check for newer version of stored pages: Every
visit of the page".
The page is almost empty, just a rude html text.
 

The problem number 2 is : how can I redirect the user to a site specific
login page instead of having the login popup ?
 

The problem number 3 is : how can I show the user to a site specific
error page when he/she do not give a correct login instead of the HTTP
401 page ?
 
Thx all,
          Paolo Brunasti
