In WPS, Authentication filters are used to show custom portal pages after logging through login Portlet.
Once possible use case could be like this,
If user Dave login to portal, he should see Finance portal page
If user Andrew login to Portal, he should see Sports portal page
Other use case that i worked with is,
User login using Login Portlet (My own developed Login Portlet) and after
authentication user will be redirected to custom screens of login portlet itself
and after providing certain information on custom screens, he will be logged in to portal.
For all these kind of use cases,
You need to write your own login portlet
and implement Authentication Filters
I am just gathering all the technotes that i worked with and found so far
