Hi Patrick,

why do you not write a servlet that reads the user info and redirects
to login/proxy.
We are planning something like this.

Hi List

We have Jetspeed 2.1-dev up and running.  Right now we have a login portlet
which simply submits the username/password to login/proxy and everything is
working great.  Now, I would like to upgrade the login portlet to be able to
automatically authenticate a person from some information stored in a
cookie, like a remember me sort of thing.

My first thought was to store their username, and encoded password which
could be read by my login portlet and forworded to login/proxy for
authentication. However, since I can't send a redirect from within the
doView method this won't work.

I have tried all sorts of things trying to simply authenticate a user from
within a portlet, and not having to submit a form to login/proxy.  Is there
any way to accomplish this?

Am i even looking in the right direction ?

Surely somebody must have done something similar in Jetspeed already.

Any help/comments are very appreciated.

Thanks

Pat
