Hi I've been randomly reading parts of the documention before using
Orbeon Forms. If one performs a <xforms:submission action="{external location}" replace="instance"/> how is authentication handled? does the forwarding process from the server ask the user at the browser for authentication credentials?

John,
In Orbeon Forms, submissions do not ask the user for authentication credentials. We feel that they are part of private application code with which the user shouldn't be involved. However, you have ways of passing credentials. By default, Orbeon Forms attempts to forward the JSESSIONID cookie it received, as well as the Authorization header. In addition, you can use xxforms:username / xxforms:password on the submission: http://www.orbeon.com/ops/doc/reference-xforms-2#submission-auth-extension -Erik On Apr 16, 2008, at 8:17 PM, John Russell wrote: > Hi I've been randomly reading parts of the documention before using > Orbeon Forms. > If one performs a > > <xforms:submission action="{external location}" replace="instance"/> > > how is authentication handled? does the forwarding process from the > server > ask the user at the browser for authentication credentials? > > Thank you > John Russell > > -- > You receive this message as a subscriber of the [hidden email] > mailing list. > To unsubscribe: mailto:[hidden email] > For general help: mailto:[hidden email]?subject=help > OW2 mailing lists service home page: http://www.ow2.org/wws Orbeon Forms - Web Forms for the Enterprise Done the Right Way http://www.orbeon.com/ -- You receive this message as a subscriber of the [hidden email] mailing list.

Thank you Erik,
so if the xform is a stylesheet it may be possible to get the username and password from the orbeon environment and co-ordinate a single sign-on by authenticating Orbeon externally (ie to the same authentication service as used by the xml database)? <xforms:submission id="save-submission" ref="instance('my-instance')" method="put" resource="/exist/rest/ops/my-file.xml" replace="none" xxforms:username="{admin}" xxforms:password="{}"/> Can you let me know where to find documentation about configuring Orbeon authentication externally please.
