Re: using https for login

2007-03-30 Thread John Pedersen

What a shame - I would have thought this a common requirement. I want
to protect the admin password, but once logged in, there is a lot of
data to process, and it isn't very sensitive, so it doesn't make sense
to encrypt it.

So I just have to scrap the declarative method, and do it programmatically?

Without modifying the code for the admin webapp, you can't do this.

I tried using a filter on the login pages to switch to https, but it
didn't forward correctly after logging in - I think the login data may
have been lost with the redirect

using https for login

2007-03-29 Thread John Pedersen

Hi,

I want to protect the admin parts of my app.

I have made a security-constraint on my admin folders, and all works
fine - calling for any page in admin gets redirected to a login form.
However, I'd like the login form to be encrypted.

I have been able to get all the admin pages running on https, but I
want just the login page on https, and the actual admin pages using
http.

Can anyone suggest how to do this. Here is what I have in my web.xml (
this setup doesn't use https at all ):

security-constraint
web-resource-collection
web-resource-nameadmin/web-resource-name
url-pattern/admin/*/url-pattern
/web-resource-collection
auth-constraint
role-namemanager/role-name
/auth-constraint
/security-constraint

login-config
auth-methodFORM/auth-method
form-login-config
form-login-page/security/login.htm/form-login-page

form-error-page/security/login_error.htm/form-error-page
/form-login-config
/login-config


Adding a

user-data-constraint
 transport-guarantee
CONFIDENTIAL
 /transport-guarantee
/user-data-constraint

uses https for all my admin pages.

TIA.
