Specifying Protected and Public Pages

The protected-pages-path parameter in the web.xml file specifies the directory in which pages that need authentication must reside. Public pages must reside in a different location.

The following pages are provided in the $WSHOME/spe/user/protected directory by default.

• Form.jsp— Displays Identity Manager form output.

• Home.jsp— The content that appears on the page that is displayed after the user is successfully authenticated.

• OperationResult.jsp— Displays a successful operation message in an authenticated context, such as a successful password change.

Other customized files may be added to this directory.

See Specifying an Action Path for more information about implementing authentication with the default authentication filter.
