Karl,

My seed document is not a logon page, but the seed document url automatically 
redirects to the logon pages. So the first regex is of the logon page, then the 
regex for the Login URL is the same (since it's the logon page), type = Form. 
Do I define any redirect after the logon form?

Hope this makes a bit of sence..

Didn't think it would be that hard to setup some access credentials..
