Thanks to everyone for the replies, useful info on Orion apart from anything
else !
Main ideas seem to be:
a). Programmatic login using RoleManager - Had looked at this, very useful but
the authentication isn't really the problem. What's needed after some code of
our own is the normal j_security
It works, just like MCB said.

Yes, this works, and is how I perform user authentication. It's not app
server portable though. :-(

Which version of the server are you using? FORM based authentication works
for me on 1.4.5 - have not tried to forward to j_security_check, though (and
can't find any file named like this in the jars).

It might be possible to achieve this without forwarding. I haven't tried
it, but using Orion's role manager might do the trick. First you can
retrieve the role manager using RoleManager manager = (RoleManager)new
InitialContext().lookup("java:comp/RoleManager"); The you can call login on
the Ro
This is very simple to do.
Just grab the RoleManager from java:comp/env/RoleManager I think and then
the method if just RoleManager.login(username, password) - see the Orion API
docs for more info.
Alas there is no standard way to do this defined in the spec.
