Can WO do this?

Hi --

I am considering WebObjects for a project, and I'm wondering if you folks think it would be appropriate, and if it can perform one function in particular.

I'm working on rudimentary content management function. We have thousands of users storing literally tens of thousands of files daily on a webserver.

I'm going to start logging these files in a database when received, and I want to use WO for a user interface to display recent files uploaded for each user, and allow them to filter the query results (file types, date received, user sending, etc). So WO would be displaying hyperlinks to the uploaded files.

That's all basic enough. However, each person accessing the data does not have any rights to any other users data. So currently, when the user goes to the server, the access to the files is controlled by Apache and the .htaccess file.

I don't want the users to have to log in twice (once for WO to show them the results of their query, and another time when they clink the hyperlink to go to the protected file). Can WO pass the user & password to Apache? Or is there a better way to do this?

I'm looking at using Frontbase on a Mac OS X Server (hopefully Tiger by the time we get there).

Suggestions appreciated.

Chris
