This commit suggests ignoring the `force_login` command in the `tryAuthenticationOnLoginPage` function. If the public area is **enabled**, and ILIAS detects that the user has **no valid ILIAS session and access** to the requested resource, an HTTP redirect to the login view with a `cmd=force_login` query parameter will be initiated. This currently leads to a problem where the automatically initiated "Apache Authentication" Single Sign-On will **not** be triggered, even if configured this way. Effect: With this change, requesting the login page with an **enabled** "Apache Authentication" will only be possible **without** triggering the automatically initiated Single Sign-On, if `passed_sso=1` is given in the query parameters (no change was required to achieve this behaviour).

This commit suggests ignoring the
force_logincommand in the
tryAuthenticationOnLoginPagefunction.If the public area is enabled, and ILIAS detects
that the user has no valid ILIAS session and access
to the requested resource, an HTTP redirect to the
login view with a
cmd=force_loginquery parameterwill be initiated. This currently leads to a problem
where the automatically initiated "Apache Authentication"
Single Sign-On will not be triggered, even if configured
this way.
Side effect of this PR: With this change, requesting the login page with
an enabled "Apache Authentication" will only be possible
without triggering the automatically initiated Single Sign-On,
if
passed_sso=1is given in the query parameters (no change wasrequired to achieve this behaviour).
Commit one has to be picked to
release_10as well, commit two and three have to be be picked to all maintained branches.
