AW: [opencms-dev] Redirect to a login page

[Thomas Weckert]

Please refer to this section in opencms.properties:

#
# Select authentication mode:
# true=HTTP basic authentication
# false=form based authentication
# Give the URI in the system where the auth.form resides.
########################################################################

auth.basic=true
auth.form_uri=

To use a login page, you would use these settings:

auth.basic=false
auth.form_uri=/a_folder/my_login_page.jsp

my_login_page should contain a username/password form. Whenever the form
gets submitted, try to do a login with
loginUser(String username, String password) on the CmsObject with the
submitted username and password. If the login was successful, redirect
the response to the original requested URI.
