You're correct. The last applications I developed with RIFE did not  
use inheritance for authentication, but rather an embedded element as  
a login box which then stored the credentials in the request as  
attributes, leaving the site accessible but to guests and authorized  
people.

Yes, you are.

Cool, every bit of help is much appreciated.

Take care,
