Basic Authentication and OpenCMS?

hi,

want to protect a folder in my site so that only authenticated users can get to this pages...

What I did:
- Create a new folder "protected" and disabled all rights for "all users".
- Add a securtiy constraint into the opencms web-xml for the protected folder with a security role.
- in Opencms properties the auth.basic=true (so Basic authentication should be enabled).

What happens:
- When I try to load the protected index.jsp, I get a login screen. Thats ok.
- But I cannot get after the login screen, although the credentials are definitily ok... And the user is in the right group...

Question:
-Whats the Algorithm used to hash the user passwords in Opencms.
-How can I debug whats going wrong?
-Has someone a working example?

regards
Chako

Hi,

for debugging hints there is a thread in the tutorial section i think.
You have to start the VM with a port param ... then connect with your debugger to this port. With windows it`s also possible to debugvia shared memory. But i haven`t done this yet.

Hope this helps
