Craig, I am not aware of a way to pass anything other then the URL to the web server for a WebPagePortlet. You may be able to embed the username and password in the URL. The HTML Portlet should be used for local files only. Also it is Jetspeed that is getting the web page from the server, not the user. Thus any Username and Password information would be common to all Jetspeed users, or more correctly all users using that portlet. As to why it worked in once, I do not know. For a description on caching in Jetspeed see: http://jakarta.apache.org/jetspeed/site/diskcache.html Paul Spencer Craig Laverty wrote: > > Hello, > > Is there anyway to prompt a user for their username and password before > showing the contents of an HTML portlet?
