Re: Password-protecting Anthill

Andy,

There's nothing in the standard Anthill OS that supports basic 
authentication, but I would think that if configured properly Tomcat 
would ask for a password and send the role information to Anthill OS. 
Anthill OS would ignore the role, but that's ok, Tomcat should be 
managing general access.

Also, I'm not sure if it's relevent or helpful, but there is a guide for 
hooking the Pro version into LDAP. There might be some nuggets in that 
guide that apply here: http://wiki.urbancode.com/home/LDAPIntegration

Regards,
Eric
