Thanks, Grant, for the noble phraseology - in fact my suggestion was pure nonsense :-)We have a test setup which does exactly what Bob wants, but I have overseen that there is an other application running as preprocessor, which simple redirects everything to a file called CheckPermission.tpl, handing over the original URL as parameter for WebCat. The WebCat code in this file checks user permission in a database and does a second redirect depending on the url. It is pretty fast, but some sort of second level preprocessor. We tried this technique after we got tired playing with perl to encrypt and store user passwords in WebTen.So I agree with Terry Wilson, the Welcome plugin should do the job in a clean, straight way.
