Q.
With the Novell eCommerce Bean, how can I do a contextless login through a Web browser? I want users to be able to log in without having to type in their context. Any ideas would be appreciated.
A.
The Novell eCommerce Beans documentation has a Java Server Page (JSP) example that does exactly what you are looking for. Assuming you have Novell's eCommerce Bean v1.3 (the latest), you can look at the downloaded documentation, or you can access it online at http://developer.novell.com/ndk/ecb.htm.
To get to the JSP code referred to, click the View option under Documentation. When the screen reloads, click the plus sign (+) next to LDAP Beans. Then click Code Samples. Now in the right hand frame, click Authenticate: Contextless Login (Public Search). Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Authenticate by Public Search JSP.
