------------------------------------------
Thanks, Marcel.
Good point.
In this case we may want to the remove the getRemoteAddress check from the
verification game because the client generally has little to no way of
controlling this situation. On the other hand, we might still keep it (knowing
the issues and make it configurable to switch off)

> Key: SLING-1116
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-1116
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Extensions
> Reporter: Eric Norman

> This is a new bundle that provides an implementation of forms based
> authentication for sling.
> The login/logout servlets from the org.apache.sling.commons.auth are used.
> The AuthenticationHandler will use http basic auth credentials if they are on
> the request, otherwise it will use the user/pwd posted from the login form.
> The login form html is generated by a set of scripts
> 1. login.html.esp - full login page (includes login_body.html.esp for the
> form markup)
> 2. login_body.html.esp - just the login form, which may be useful for
> drawing the login form for an ajax context
> 3. loginError.html.esp - full login-error page
> 4. loginError_body.html.esp - just the login-error form, for login error in
> ajax context
> The above scripts are included as bundle-resources @
> /libs/sling/servlet/default
> The bundle also has a couple of test scripts to show some examples of usage:
> 1. loginTest.html.esp - shows who is logged in and links to login or logout
> 2. loginTest2.html.esp - shows how a script can check permissions and show a
> login page if the anonymous user doesn't have permission to see the page,
> Some examples of usage are:
> 1. http://host:port/path/to/node.login.html - show the login page and then
> goto http://host:port/path/to/node after authenticated
> 2. http://host:port/path/to/node.login.html?s=.edit.html - show the login
> page and then goto http://host:port/path/to/node.edit.html after
> authenticated
> 3. http://host:port/system/sling/logout - invalidate the session and switch
> back to anonymous user
