<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Folks,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This was asked some time ago, but as far as I know
there was no resolution.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would like to use forms based authentication for
my exported site such that various folders are protected by opencms using form
based authentication.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Something like:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>User requests page within a folder in the
protected area within the apache site.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>User is redirected to login page within opencms
site.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On login, user is redirected back to apache managed
site.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This all should be nice and simple, and there is a
chunk of documentation out there about authentication between apache and tomcat,
but I was wondering if anyone has actually done it and can give me the 30 second
howto.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I also assume that the session token will be the
same for any pages that the user requests from within the opencms managed site
as well.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am using:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>opencms5.01</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Tomcat 4.1</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Apache 2</FONT></DIV>
