.htaccess and WebPagePortlet
Hi
I'm trying to use a WebPagePortlet to access a website which uses .htaccess
password protection. Because I want each user to be able to enter their own
username/password combination, I inserted the following tags in the <portlet-
entry> of the .xreg file:
<parameter name="username" value="" />
<parameter name="password" value="" />
When the user clicks on the 'Customise' icon at the top of the portlet, they
are then able to enter their username and password. However, I have found that
I have to restart tomcat in order for the change of username/password to take
effect. This isn't very helpful, is there a better way to handle .htaccess from
within a WebPagePortlet?
jetspeed v1.4b4
toncat v4.1.18
thanks
Barry

Try setting the properties twice (save, go back into customize, press
save again)
There seems to be a general bug in setting properties, and taking twice
to update the settings
