I had a similar problem, but I've used a different approach. In my case, I want to keep the page (it's the default page) but some elements should not appear to logged users. To achieve this, I've used some logic in my layout pages, rendering a given region - or not - based on the return value of request.getRemoteUser(). Something like this: | <% if ( request.getRemoteUser() == null ) { %> | <p:region regionName='welcomebox' regionID='welcomebox'/> | <% } %> | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4193587#...
