Thank-you to all who responded regarding this.
I now have a couple more avenues to explore which is what I was after.
If I don't have to reinvent the wheel I would be very happy.
thanx again

This is what I'd do:
- create an authentication framework that provides the same login page
for each application that integrates it.
- add in this framework a messaging mechanism or a session info
repository (a db that holds all relevant info of sessions regarding
users).
- create a new application that uses this framework to it's best,
adding a list of applications as, say, an xml file.
This last app would be your portal app.
Whenever someone connects to this app or another, they have to
authenticate. The authentication stays on while they are in the same
app. When they need to leave, you save relevant info in the session db
(or a text file if you want), and redirect to the other app, passing
through the new 'magicsid' you have created. The app that is the
destination receives it, reads the db info or the xml file, gets all
info regarding the authenticated user et voil`!
Unfortunately I cannot give you the source to this application and
framework as I don't have it anymore. But we used this succesfully in
a portal app for a cable internet provider.

I would like to create for my company more of a portal environment
for my WebObjects applications.
Currently I have a single html page with links on it which take the
user to a desired application login page. So I have several login
pages (one for each application) and every time I deploy a new
application I have to manually update my application list page. Not
Ideal
I looked brierfly @ WireHose, but I'm not working with WO5.2 only 5.1
(no change in site), and even so my company probably wouldn't spring
for wirehose.
I would like to replace my application list page with a 'main' page
that has info on it along with the ability to login. this will then
give the user a list of applications they could run, based on their
permissions. I would like the ability to add new applications to my
server, and have them "auto-magicaly" show up in the portal. (I
would probably have an admin to to 'install' new applications so that
they would show up).
Has anyone done this already?
Are there tutorials, source code, pages I could consult?
Is there a commercial product that runs with OS X server 10.1 and WO
5.1?
tia for any information you can pass along to me.
