Question about authorization

[Christian Schulz]

Hello,

 

we are using servlets on an apache webserver. Apache allows to use access control for example by using .htaccess files. From the servlet, I could do this by sending

 

        response.setHeader("WWW-Authenticate", "BASIC realm=\"users\"");
        response.sendError(response.SC_UNAUTHORIZED);

to the client.

And now the question: Apache allows to use the directive ErrorDocument in each .htaccess file so I can control where the client should go if they are unauthorized after x logon tries. Is it possible to do this from servlets ? E.g. something like:

 

      response.setHeader("401", "http://www.mydomain.com");

Thanks !

 

Bye bye
