[jboss-user] [JBoss Portal] - Custom user authentication

[gsferra@imnet.it]

Hello,
can someone help me to understand the authentication mechanism?
I've deployed a custom portal and now I wish to add a login feature using the same authentication method of the UserPortlet but without using it (because I don't want "guests" registers their own accounts).
I wrote a login.jsp and a loginfailure.jsp and I added the following lines to my web.xml:


  |   <resource-ref>
  |     <res-ref-name>jdbc/PortalDS</res-ref-name>
  |     <res-type>javax.sql.DataSource</res-type>
  |     <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
  |     <res-sharing-scope>Shareable</res-sharing-scope>
  |   </resource-ref>  
  |   <security-constraint>
  |     <web-resource-collection>
  |       <web-resource-name>Authenticated</web-resource-name>
  |       <description/>
  |       <url-pattern>/auth/*</url-pattern>
  |     </web-resource-collection>
  |     <auth-constraint>
  |       <description/>
  |       <role-name>Authenticated</role-name>
  |     </auth-constraint>
  |   </security-constraint>
  |   <security-role>
  |     <description/>
  |     <role-name>Authenticated</role-name>
  |   </security-role> 
  |   <login-config>
  |     <auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
  |     <realm-name>JBoss Portal</realm-name>
  |     <form-login-config>
  |       <form-login-page>/jsp/login.jsp</form-login-page>
  |       <form-error-page>/jsp/loginfailed.jsp</form-error-page>
  |     </form-login-config>
  |   </login-config>
  | 

In the "mycustomportal-object.xml" file I've added a default page with "view" action for "unckecked" users (this shows up a welcome portlet with a login link) and I "restricted" all other pages to "users" and "administrators". The problem is on the login link, where it should point to?
I tried pointing it to:
http://localhost:8080/portal/portal/mycustomportal/auth/
http://localhost:8080/portal/portal/auth/mycustomportal/
http://localhost:8080/portal/auth/portal/mycustomportal/

The last one shows up the "JBoss Portal" standard login page while others doesn't work at all showing up my default portal page. What's wrong?
