This sort of thing is usually done by an upstream Apache or in the servlet engine (Tomcat) configuration.
If you really want to do it in Cocoon, you can write an action checking the BA header and use it in the sitemap to either deliver the resource or the auth-required (403) response. HTH, Alfred. -----Original Message----- From: Peter Flynn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Montag, 16. Juni 2003 22:40 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Basic authentication I have failed to find anything in the docs about implementing crude Apache-style authentication (eg equivalent to .htaccess). We don't have any global auth framework yet, so the more sophisticated methods won't be applicable. The user requirement is simply to restrict some directories to user/psw pairs "like we did before" :-) Can someone point me at what I must have missed? I guess I could fake it up (although I don't know how to call crypt() from within an XSLT script) but I felt there is probably a better way... ///Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This message is for the named person's use only.
