InfoCenter Home > 5.4.3: Form-based loginApplications can present site-specific login forms by making use of WebSphere's custom challenge type. A custom challenge works in the following manner:
WebSphere provides two servlets that can be used as a basis for writing custom-challenge servlets, an AbstractLoginServlet and the CustomLoginServlet, which extends the AbstractLoginServlet. In web-based applications, it is often desirable to maintain login information across multiple sites so each site doesn't have to require the user retype the information. You can use the WebSphere single sign-on framework to allow the authentication information to be passed along automatically. WebSphere provides a helper class called SSOAuthenticator that simplifies the handling of single sign-on. |
