login form on any page

kosl Dec 24, 2005 5:40 AM

Hi,

I'm using jboss 4.0.3 and jaas with form based authentication. Everything is working but I would like to have possibility to have a login form on every (posibly even not secured) page. When I put the "usual" form

Login:Has?o:Login:

on the pages I get the error:

HTTP Status 400 - Invalid direct reference to form login page

Does anybody know how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance for any help

Karol

sorry the form should be as code:


 <FORM method="POST" action="j_security_check">
<TABLE BORDER="2"><TR><TD>Login:</TD><TD>
<INPUT type="text" name="j_username" size="16" maxlength="24"
/><TD>Has?o:</TD><TD><INPUT type="password" name="j_password"
size="16" maxlength="24" /><TD>Login:</TD><TD><INPUT type="submit"
 value="OK" /></TR></TABLE></FORM>

This is not how form authentication works. The container needs to display the form you specified as needed when accessing a secured resource.

Ok I know that it is the "usual" way. My question was how to put a form on a non-secured web page. Probably that's imposible to achieve easily but maybe someone knows how to do it ?

Kind Regards,

What you are trying to do is basically have custom authentication semantics sprayed into the standard Form Authentication mechanism.

You are better off keeping them seperate.
