             Summary: Web connector session-based login needs more power to 
distinguish between multiple forms
                 Key: CONNECTORS-574
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-574
             Project: ManifoldCF
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: ManifoldCF 1.0.1, ManifoldCF 1.0
            Reporter: Karl Wright
            Assignee: Karl Wright
             Fix For: ManifoldCF 1.1


Setting up a session-based login sequence requires a user to be able to 
uniquely describe a desired set of pages that set up cookies.  Specifically, 
the pages must be one of the following types:

- Containing a form of a specific name
- Containing a link with a specific target
- Containing a redirection with a specific target

Modern login pages often contain many forms, however, and they can be generated 
by other software.  In that case the forms often are identified by use of an 
"id" attribute rather than a "name".

I've also seen situations where pages in login sequences are redirected through 
Javascript, and therefore it is difficult to write a rule that matches such 
pages, since there are no obvious links or forms either.  It would be great to 
find a solution to that - maybe a lowest-priority "match everything" button 
selection would help.
