I particularly like the use of XSLT to do the checking, makes it very adaptable. Is the sunRise-login action defined anywhere? How do you use the 'role' attribute in practice? I am still trying to figure out how to pass people onto where they originally wanted to go ;) I'd like to work out how to protect an entire sub-sitemap, with the minimum of pipelines, added hopefully to the parent. Are there examples of this in the Portal Demo? Sorry, I have not studied it closely yet. regards Jeremy -- ___________________________________________________________________ Jeremy Quinn Karma Divers webSpace Design HyperMedia Research Centre <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://www.media.demon.co.uk> <phone:+44.[0].20.7737.6831> <pager:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
