allow using a magnolia page as a login page
-------------------------------------------
Key: MAGNOLIA-1476
URL: http://jira.magnolia.info/browse/MAGNOLIA-1476
Project: Magnolia
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: security
Affects Versions: 3.0.2
Reporter: Fabrizio Giustina
Assigned To: Fabrizio Giustina
Fix For: 3.1
This could be useful for website where magnolia security is used also on the
public instance:
at the moment you can only use a static page or a freemarker template for the
login page, but not an existing page managed by magnolia. Having a cms-managed
login page is a common requirement.
I already have some code for this that I will try to integrate soon, these are
a couple of details about how it works:
- the configuration for the login page doesn't replace the existing one, but
it's an additional entry
- the page is only displayed on public servers and not for the ./magnolia/*
path (if the page in the website repository is not configured properly don't
prevent administrators to login at all!)
- the difficult part: when a secure uri is requested, the login page is
displayed. After the login the user is redirected to the same page he was
trying to see before authentication (with all the parameters submitted
originally, and also if he had to navigate across more bages before login -for
example after a self registration-
