Managing user login sessions
If the credentials have been entered using a separate login page that the Mobile
App provides for the user to access, you must pass them explicitly as parameters
to the login( ) method in order to have them sent to the Mobile Web application
for authentication together with the session login request. In this case, the Mobile
Web application authenticates the user against the protected login target page,
which can be the /static/home.html default or another protected page whose
URI you pass explicitly to the login( ) method. If authentication against this login
target page is successful, the user is authenticated and the login session to
access Mobile services is established. All further access to Mobile Web
application resources is provided according to the user’s authorization settings,
and the Mobile App is now ready to load a JSDO catalog.
Again, using these suggested options for designing a login sequence, at each point
where the Mobile App is ready to load a JSDO catalog, user authentication has already
occurred against a protected Mobile Web application resource prior to requesting a
Mobile resource.
