Hi
Attila,
FORM
based authentication is somewhat limited with respect to the use-cases it
supports. On your error page include something
like:
<a
href="javascript:history.go(-1);">Try
again</a>
This
works fine for me. Cheers

Subject:
Form-based authentication: original request URI...?
Hi,
I managed to get forms-based
authentication working (Orion 1.4.5/Win2K), but I have a question. Here
is what happens:
1) user tries to
access protected resource "protected.jsp"
2) Orion redirects
user to the login page "login.jsp" instead
3) user enters
*incorrect* userid/password and submits the form
4) Orion shows the
error page "error.jsp", as it should
So far, so good, but on the error page
I'd like to say something like "click here to retry," with a link to the
*original* page that triggered the authentication in the first place (in this
case "protected.jsp"). Note that if I put a link to "login.jsp" on the
error page, the user will be stuck in a loop as successful authentication will
just redisplay the login page itself.
The question is: is there a way
(either inside the login page or in the error page) of somehow determining
what the original request URI was that triggered the authentication to begin
with? I already tried request.getRequestURI() inside "login.jsp," but it
evaluates to "login.jsp," not "protected.jsp" as I'd like. Clearly Orion
stores the original request URI somewhere (otherwise it wouldn't know where to
go after a successful login), but how can I get at this
information???
Any help would be
greatly appreciated!
