Hi Jason,
I've just added support for your use case in cactus 1.5 (in CVS).
Here's how to use it:
public void beginXXX(WebRequest request)
{
FormAuthentication auth = new FormAuthentication(username, pwd);
auth.getSecurityRequest().addParameter("ias_request_appname",
whatever);
auth.getSecurityRequest().addParameter("ias_request_real_appname",
whatever);
request.setAuthentication(auth);
[...]
Please note that I haven't tested it! (unfortunately we don't have any
test yet for Form-Based authentication). Could you verify it works for
you?
Thanks
-Vincent
