Telling people they couldn't bookmark the logon page just isn't a solution. Plus, many people had serious problems trying to login. They would enter in their user name and passwords multiple times, and still could not get in. I would honestly say 25-30% of the people had problems, which did not reflect well on me. Previously I used Apache authentication, but it is just not as flexible as Tomcat, but then again I never had a problem with it. I was wondering if there are any suggestions for authentication? I don't really want to use Apache for this upcoming project and would really prefer a Tomcat-like authentication mechanism where I could use a database to hole user names and passwords etc. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
