[opencms-dev] OpenCMS Authentication SOLVED

[Bill Edwards]

(With help from a coworker--thanks, Seth!).  I have set up an  
automatic login to OpenCMS from my portal app as follows:

1.  I store the username and password that I want to pass in a cookie  
(when I do this for real, I will encrypt the password)
2.  I forward to an OpenCMS JSP that I provide that:
A.  Reads the username and password from the cookie
B.  Instantiates a CmsLogin object and logs the user in
C.  Redirects the OpenCMS login page.

Thanks again to all who responded!  Gruesse aus Boston! -- Bill Edwards
