Hello Peter, tomcat support form based auth with simple declaration in the web.xml. The datasource can be database, ldap or flat file. regards Dietmar "Peter Neu" <peter.neu@xxxxxxx> am 26.07.2006 15:10:47 Bitte antworten an users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx An: <users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Kopie: Thema: AW: [users@httpd] HTML Form instead of browser prompt for authentication? Hello Owen, the apache is only a proxy meant for authentication. I simply forward all requests to a tomcat server. Natural answer would be why don't configure authentication there? That's because somebody needed ip based authentication (x)or password authentication. This is nuts, I know but It's the scenario. So I just need the authentication - programming something in PHP or CGI makes everything more complicated.
