Extra logon on iview

Question

Hello All,
What I'm trying to do is to have one iview come up with an extra logon screen where the portal username and password need to be entered again everytime it's called. (the iview contains sensitive HR data and people are woried others will look at it while they're having a coffee and didn't lock their pc)
From other threads I got some ideas, but haven't managed to get it to work.
What I've done:
- added a custom authentification scheme in authschemes.xml like this
<authscheme name="customscheme">
  <authentication-template>zbasic</authentication-template>
  <priority>25</priority>
  <frontendtype>2</frontendtype>
<frontendtarget>com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.basicauthentication</frontendtarget>
</authscheme>
- created a login module stack zbasic with just one login module:
BasicPasswordLoginModule, flag=REQUISITE
- finally assigned the authentication scheme customscheme to the iview.
However, no logon screen is coming up when going to the iview.
Am I missing something or completely on the wrong track?
Thanks,
Pieter

Hi Pieter,
I have a similar request. I have successfully created a custom login module, added it to a login module stack (security provider), create a new authscheme entry for my loginmodule stack and finally assigned this authscheme entry to my iView (advanced properties-->authscheme). I think you have also done this.
I also created a custom login screen as front-end target in the authscheme.xml file. Upon accessing my iView, it does render my custom login screen and also successfully authenticates the user by executing the Login Module. My problem however is that it returns me to the custom login screen, instead of rendering the iView content.
I think you problem lies with the login module stack.
If you have solved it, could you give advice on my problem?
Thanks
