Hi Mike,

Fair enough, but that could then also be handled by moving the AD-LoginHandler 
in front of the (hypothetical) SessionLoginHandler.

Regards from Vienna,

Richard

authentication is done externally

Many good points there, Richard. Wrt renegotiating already logged in sessions I 
like to add that it was actually a requirement for us to do that, but we can do 
it conditionally, so I'm quite happy the LoginHandlers are called for each 
request.

The rationale is that we want to avoid hijacked sessions and similar stuff. 
Thus, for every request we want to check that the user logged in to Magnolia is 
actually the same as the SSO user provided in the HTTP header. This is a light 
operation, and it is only when the two logged in names don't match that my 
LoginHandler triggers session invalidation and a call to the (more heavy) 
authentication/authorization process.

Best regards
Mike
