[Exist-open] Authentication in webapps

[Florent G. <li...@fg...>]

  Hi,

  I went to the documentation page "Security" [1], but do not see how
this fits exactly with the web applications in eXist.  That page
mentions an authentication URL, as well as an authentication event
listener, but I am not sure how to use them or have them fired from
within my webapp.

  Maybe I missed another documentation page? (I did not find anything
in the other pages related to development)

  What I'd like to do precisely is to have a login page so the user
can login using an eXist user.  There would be a logout button as well
(so HTTP authentication is not really suitable).  And every query,
fired from a request sent by the browser whilst the user is logged in,
would be executed by eXist with that user.

  Is there any other document I could read?  Any library to use?  Any
example/existing code to inspect?

  Regards,
