[opencms-dev] form based auth

[Jan Heise]

hi all,

i'm trying to set up form based auth with opencms. i secured a page and
got basic auth working. after changing the conf in opencms.properties to
use form based auth, all i get is a NPE:

com.opencms.core.CmsException: 0 Unknown exception. Detailed error:  
[com.opencms.file.mySql.CmsDbAccess].
root cause was java.lang.NullPointerException
	at  
com.opencms.file.genericSql.CmsDbAccess.readUser(CmsDbAccess.java: 
10307)
	at  
com.opencms.file.genericSql.CmsResourceBroker.loginWebUser(CmsResourceBr 
oker.java:4502)
	at com.opencms.file.CmsObject.loginWebUser(CmsObject.java:2342)
	at  
com.opencms.core.OpenCmsHttpServlet.initUser(OpenCmsHttpServlet.java: 
571)
	at  
com.opencms.core.OpenCmsHttpServlet.doGet(OpenCmsHttpServlet.java:304)
	at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:740)
	at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:853)

my auth.html is _not_shown. it looks like opencms is trying to log in a  
user
even before showing the auth.html. i also did not find any info on how  
i have
to write the auth.html (how do i have to name the fields? where do i  
have to
post the form to?)

tia, jan
