You don't really. I didn't see that in your earlier explanation, so you either have to use one of those other plugins or we would have to agree on some (slippery-slope) rules that vlogin could use to possibly remember what the user logged in with. I don't have much time for making patches to vlogin right now, so you might look at those other plugins first. Cheers, paul Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
