Redirection on Eclipse infocenter [message #474159]

Hi,

We have Eclipse infocenter application to show the Help documentation of
the products of our company. Eclipse infocenter is hosted on the Jetty web
server. Currently, there is no security on this documentation. I am trying
to implement authentication and to do this I need to redirect requests to
the documentation to my application (redirect to a URL) and after
authentication my application redirects back to show the documentation.
So, at the Eclipse infocenter when a request comes from outside source, it
has to redirect to my application and when request comes from my
application, it has to go ahead and open the help documentation. There are
about 6 sites within the infocenter to show information about each product.

Can somebody help me how to do this? Thanks in advance.

- Naveen.

You may want to consider using the feature in Eclipse 3.4 which allows
the infocenter to be bundled as a war file. Search the documentation for
"war" and you will find it. The advantage of doing this is that you can
set up security the same way as you would for any war file and use any
server, not just Jetty. This is a good alternative to using redirects.
