What to do to avoid users bookmarking Login Page
Good Day Everyone,
I currently have a struts application which uses J2EE container managed
authentication.
As such, the user must go directly to a resource and not to the login page.
In my case the user must go directly to a struts action (ie.
localhost:7701/app/MainPage.do).
The container would then intervene and display the form login page.
The problem with this is that users are tempted to bookmark the login page,
which as we know
does not work with container authentication.
Is there a way to dummy proof this for the user in a way that does not
change the way the application
is structured (ie. I can't guarantee that the user will be coming from a
proper link on another page).
I tried setting up the welcome page in the web.xml to specify the
MainPage.do but this does not work.
Thanks,
Michelle
