[users@httpd] design of authentication pages in http server
Dear All,
I am trying to create a java web application in which the authentication
part should be handled purely by apache http server.
On opening the front page of the application, the content should be served
from the http server which should have a form for accepting username and
password.
The http server should have a connection the LDAP server on which the user
is authenticated against the password.
If the authentication is successful, then the URL is redirected to access
the target servlet on the java application server(JBoss).
Please advice on how to get the authentication functionality implemented in
apache http server.
My intention is that the java web appllication in JBOSS will only implement
the business functionalites whereas tasks like authentication should be
offloaded to apache http server.

You can do this with httpd 2.4 series, using mod_auth_form and mod_authnz_ldap.
