    how to skip login.jsp when using ldap

      Hi all,
      what is the way to skip the step with login.jsp?
      here is what I want to achieve:
      I'm using LDAP Authentication for my portal.
      I want to trigger the authentication every time a user enter the portal, but I want to keep it in the background, without showing through login.
      eventually I will remove the login link too.

      Any suggestions?
      thx

          to the above scenario I should add that,
          I'm getting the username from the servlet request header
          don't care for password, since the user has been authenticated before entering the portal.
          thx

            for portal 2.4 we needed the same...

            One solution could be modifying: core/src/resources/portal-server-war/login.jsp

            like:

            <%
 final String userIDHeaderAttribute = "userID";
 String userIDHeaderValue = request.getHeader(userIDHeaderAttribute);

 if ((userIDHeaderValue != null) && (userIDHeaderValue.length() > 0))
 {
%>
<body OnLoad="document.loginform.submit();">
 <B>Logging in...</B>
 <form method="post" action="<%= response.encodeURL("j_security_check") %>" name="loginform" id="loginForm" target="_top">
 <input type="hidden" name="j_username" value="<%= userIDHeaderValue %>"/>
 <input type="hidden" name="j_password" value=""/>
 </form>
</body>
<%
 }
 else
 {


            and rebuild the portal.sar afterwards
