Has anybody been able to get an autologin feature to work? This seems on the 
surface such a simple issue, but cannot find the answer anywhere.

I have FORM based authentication configured with a login page. There are a few 
problems when I try to auto login with a cookie. 

First, I can only supply a j_username and j_password field in my form that 
posts to j_security_check. If I include any other fields (like a checkbox for 
autologin [remember me]) it gets lost.

Secondly if I set the autologin cookie someplace else and when the user wanders 
back to the site I want to autologin them in. I can create a LoginContext and 
log them in and get a Principal object and all that but Tomcat still thinks the 
user isn't authenicated when they go to a protected page because I didn't go 
through their authenicator.

What is the correct way of doing this? I was thinking of using javascript to 
submit the login form automatically when the cookie is present.


Thanks for any help!
