Hi All,
In July 2004, Jonathan asked the question above and described my problem
exactly:
"Is it possible to use a single login.jsp for multiple webapps?
Basically I have a V-Domain setup using /www/mydomain.com/ as it's docroot. I
want to deploy multiple web apps (forums app,
image gallery, etc) and secure some of them using form based authentication.
I understand most of the configuration, but I would really like to use a single
login.jsp. These are all part of one big website. I have
single signon enabled, but I down't want to have to write the same exact
login.jsp for each webapp since the login.jsp will contain a
bunch of stuff (menus and such).
Does anyone know how to do this, or am i just going about organizing the
website/webapps wrong?"
I read the thread and have implemented a singleSignOn valve as described.
However, it doesn't solve the single login.jsp problem
and that part of Jonathan's question was never answered AFAICT. I've also
hunted the archives for a number of hours without
success.
I have a V-Domain named "test"
It has 2 contexts:
ROOT
Secure
the "test" V-Domain has a single signon valve and a userDatabaseRealm defined.
Both the ROOT and Secure contexts have
crossContext="true"
In both contexts, the web.xml files have the appropriate <security-constraint>,
<security-role> and <login-config> sections. In both,
I have the login page defined as follows:
<form-login-page>/login.jsp</form-login-page>
The "login.jsp" file is located in the ROOT context's tree as ROOT/login.jsp
If I access my app via the root context: http://test/ I am directed to the
login.jsp and I can login OK. After logging in, I can access
the "Secure" context (ie via http://test/Secure ) so I'm happy that Single Sign
On is working.
However, If I go straight to the "Secure" context (ie before logging in) I get
a 404 error "the requested resource (/login.jsp) is not
available."
Is there any way of doing this or do I have to have "login.jsp" duplicated in
each context?
TIA,
