Okay, thanks .... maybe I'm reading more into this than I should be.

The doc you pointed me to on protected runmodes says "they will be redirected to a login page unless they are properly logged in".

I've been getting redirected to my login page allright, ... I'm just trying to tell the darn subsystem, "Yes, I'm already logged in!"

I think by your example of "my_verify_credentials()" you are telling me that the "secret" of the DRIVER config parameter is that the second argument must return a valid Username (by whatever my definition of that is). If it returns Undef, I am telling the subsystem that the login attempt failed. Am I correct? Or am I still missing the "big picture" here?
