I want to use the single sign on capabilities of Tomcat4 with FORM based
authentication. However it does not seem possible to define a single login
and error page. Even though single sign on and a Realm are specified in
$TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml, and FORM authentication is specified in
$TOMCAT_HOME/conf/web.xml (e.g. to use /login/login.html as the login page),
when there is a need to authenticate from a particular webapp, the login
page is referenced relative to the context (e.g
$TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/myapp/login/login.html). This would involve copying the
login pages into every webapp, which gives a maintenance problem.
So in essense the question is: Is there a way to specify a "global" login
and error page that will be used by all webapps?
Many thanks
Tim
