I'm new to Java / JSP and playing with Tomcat. I would like to know how to setup a security login?
The reason behind it, is that I'm not so sure on how to set this up. I would like to have a login page, and users log in and browse local weppages, however I do not want for users to use a hyperlink to bypass the login page.
How do you achieve this?
Does Tomcat already has a utility that allows you to do this?
If so how is it used?
If not, how would I go about achieving this?
Do I use cookies to distinguish users?
and do I have to create one from scratch and place it on every page that I have to create?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Please advise......
