<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>Greetings all.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>I am currently using JBoss 6.1.0.Final</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>I have several EARs each with their own WAR.  I am using the standard single sign on valve and form based authentication.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>The intent is for the user to go to a WAR's URL, be redirected to a login page, and then be sent back to their original page.  I would like it if all the WAR's could share a login page.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Problem one occurs because I can not access a page outside of the war.  For example given these three domains</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>/main</p><p>/sub1</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>The WAR associated with the /sub1 domain can not point to /main/login.jsp.  If I attempt it then I simply go to the page /sub1/main/login.jsp.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>I have a attempted a simple redirect page in /sub1 pointing to the login page in /main.  The problem with that is that after authenticating the SSO Valve forwards you to the last page which was the redirect to the login page causing what would be a nasty loop but results in the error "Invalid direct reference to form login page"</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Is there any way to pass along the actual original request url?</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>What are some solutions to this problem other than including the login fucntionality in every war?</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>I don't mind making custom valves or filters if necessary however, I have read about failed attempts to add a filter for j_security_check.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>The only thing I have on the table right now is to extend the FormAuthenticator and add in the functionality to pass in an original url in a parameter but I would think that this is not an uncommon problem with a better solutions.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Any suggestions and/or advice welcome.</p><p><br/>Let me know if I need to provide more information or elaborate on anything.</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p>Thanks in advance.</p></div>
