[opencms-dev] how to handle webuser login?

[Siegfried Puchbauer]

There is also a property called "login-form" where you can put in the uri of
a login form (eg /login/). You can set this property eg. in the root folder
of a site and the subfolders inherit it.
When you hit a protected resource, opencms redirect you to this login form.
The login form receives  GET Parameters like:
/login/?__loginform=true&requestedResource=%2Frestricted_area%2Fsubfolder%2F

All you have to implement is a form (which also forwards the parameters) and
a login handler page like:

<%@ page session="true" import="org.opencms.jsp.*" %><%
CmsJspLoginBean cms = new CmsJspLoginBean(pageContext, request, response);
org.opencms.file.CmsObject obj = cms.getCmsObject();
String requestedPage= request.getParameter("requestedResource");

        try{
            obj.loginWebUser(request.getParameter("login_username"),
request.getParameter("login_password"));
            response.sendRedirect(cms.link(requestedPage));
        }catch(org.opencms.main.CmsException e){
            response.sendRedirect(cms.link(cms.property("login-form",
"search")) + "?message=" + e.getLocalizedMessage(java.util.Locale.GERMAN));
        }
%>

This way its very easy to replace the default browser auth-popup with a html
form
