Hi, My question is a bit off Struts but still since I am using Struts and it's too urgent for me I thought to try my luck here, maybe someone had stumbled on this issue too.
I am running JBoss/Tomcat/Struts using the JAAS for handling the application security aspects. I have used the <auth-method>FORM</auth-method> clauses inside the Web.xml file. In my web site I want to have the site home page to have also a small login form where the user could enter username and password and login to the site. The home page, contains other links as well, which lead to other parts of the site or even to external pages on other sites. >From what I've read so far, it seems to me that the FORM method is activated only when the web user tries to access a protected page. Then the Web Server (Tomcat in my case) returns the loginPage stated in the Web.xml file, and only after the login is performed (j_security_check) the Tomcat then redirects the web user to the original portected page. Is it possible to have the site home page as the login page still using mechanisms of FORM and JAAS? If so I would really appreciate any help on how to do it, and what are the configurations required.
