It depends how you match your pages in the pipeline. Authentication fw (both action and flow based) allows you to protect for example a single match element:
<map:match pattern="protectedresource"> <map:act type="auth-protect"> <map:parameter name="handler" value="portalhandler"/> <map:generate src="source/resource.xml"/> <map:serialize type="xml"/> </map:act> </map:match> the example is from auth fw documentation found here: http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/developing/webapps/authentication.html In the example the document is surrounded by auth-protect action and demands that the user is authenticated against portalhandler. If you remove the surrounding map:act element, no authentication is needed. Same goes with flow, though the syntax is slightly different. -inf On 7/27/05, Cocoon User <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Our site is very data driven.
