Re: [Exist-open] Authentication in webapps

[Adam R. <ad...@ex...>]

For what your asking Florent, the basics are to use xmldb:login to log
in a user in your XQuery (probably from a HTML form submission), if
your in a web-context this user will be automatically associated with
the web browsers session and will persist until you logout or the
session expires. If there is no user logged in then the user will be
the 'guest' user, you can check this by calling
xmldb:get-current-user()
