I have a table of projects generated from a database that I want visible to even the anonymous user, but want to reload it by getting the person in charge of a project to login and displaying an 'edit' link opposite his projects.

How can I call up the login window so that the person can login and the following dtml be rendered without having to change the security settings for this object?

<dtml-if expr="(_.SecurityGetUser().getUserName()==responsible)or('JobManager' in _.SecurityGetUser().getRolesInContext(BE))">

You do not tell us what form of authentication you are using: "HTTP-Authentication" or "Cookie-Authentication". For "HTTP-Authentication", you raise an "Unauthorized" exception to get the browsers login dialog. For cookie authentication, you make a redirect to the "login" form (you may want to provide more information such that you can come back after successful login). Dieter
