I have now officially given up. Glassfish has won this battle.
I can not find any java/jsp/servlet way of sending in a
username/password without user intervention for JDBC Realm authentication.
I tried everything including changing the web-container source (e.g. if
there is no password parameter -- look for a password attribute
instead). Usually j_security_check just gives a 404 error.
Any help would be appreciated. It is super-common on the Internet to
have "remember me" checkboxes. It should not be so staggeringly
difficult to do this in GF.
