IFS and iAS (OAS)

Question

We currently use OAS as our web server. All pages are dynamically generated and stored on our Oracle 8i database. My question is this: Is there a way to connect from my OAS web page to iFS and be authenticated to iFS with the username/password combination I entered to access the web site?

Here's the JspLogin class I used in a demo once. It implements the IfsHttpLogin interface.
Once you've instantiated it you'll need to connect to the repository and obtain a LibrarySession interface and then invoke the setSession() method on the JspLogin object.
The code will look something like this
LibraryService ifsService = new LibraryService();
CleartextCredential me = new CleartextCredential(username,password);
ConnectOptions connect = new ConnectOptions();
connect.setLocale(Locale.getDefault());
connect.setServiceName(service);
connect.setServicePassword(schemaPassword);
LibrarySession ifsSession = ifsService.connect(me,connect);
if (DEBUG) {
Alert.log("JspUtilities.obtainSession: Session Created.");
JspLogin login = new JspLogin();
login.setSession(ifsSession);
httpSession.putValue(IFSHTTPLOGIN,login);
Note IFSHTTPLOGIN is defined as follows
public static final String IFSHTTPLOGIN = "IfsHttpLogin";
I used this code once in a demo. I've not tested that the Login object this creates will allow the complete iFS WebUI to run. This code is definitely supplied as is, with no warranties or anything else for that matter.
