Dear all! It was a long time ago when I've asked a question here, but now I need your help. (The question is a little off-topic, but I hope that many of us are familiar with this issue). So:
I am trying to implement an application with container-based authentication and authorization. As you might have know, the specification states that two parameters are passed for authentification: 'j_username' and 'j_password'. Now the issue: I need one more parameter 'role' to be passed along with the login request. The problem is that the authentification URL is 'j_security_check' which is handled by the container and then the original request is passed to the servlet. Say, if you are tring to access a restricted resource like 'index.html', container will store your request and then display you the login screen. After you've passed the authentification you'll be redirected to the stored resource, in our case the 'index.html'. This results in a request without any params that were passed along with the authentification form. Anybody with experience in this area? Maybe there are subscribers of Tomcat Users lists? Help, workarounds, tips is very appreciated.
