+This section will provide you with a basic explanation of authentication\r
+in <B>Jigsaw</B>.\r
+\r
+<P>Filters are attached to specific frames in order to filter accesses\r
+to their resource. These filters are called once at lookup time, and once\r
+at reply time. On the way in (lookup time), they allow you to manipulate\r
+the request before the target resource handles it, and on the way out,\r
+they allow you to manipulate the target's reply before it is emitted back\r
+to the browser.\r
+\r
+<P>Although Jigsaw provides a number of <A HREF="../Reference/frames.html#Filter frames">filters</A>,\r
+we will focus here on the authentication filter, that authenticate requests\r
+before they are handled by their appropriate target resources. The <A HREF="../Reference/org.w3c.jigsaw.auth.GenericAuthFilter.html">GenericAuthFilter</A>\r
+is currently the only available authentication filter.\r
+\r
+<P>The GenericAuthFilter needs an authentication realm. An authentication\r
+realm is a database that will contain the description of a set of <A HREF="../Reference/org.w3c.jigsaw.auth.AuthUser.html">users</A>,\r
+along with their passwords and/or IP adresses.\r
+\r
+<P>Each user defines a set of attributes, email, comments, ipadress, password.\r
+The email address is currently unused (but it might be used in the future\r
+for email notification). The comments field is used only for informational\r
+purposes. The ipaddress field allows you to state from which machine the\r
+user is allowed to connect. This field is not mandatory: if left blank,\r
+only the password will be used for authentication (be warned that the password\r
+authentication scheme used by HTTP is very weak, you should always specify\r
+both a password and some IP addresses). If you decide to fill in the ipaddress\r
+field, you can enter multiple addresses for the same user (one per line). \r
+You can use * in the ip address field, meaning that any user connecting\r
+from the given set of IP addresses is to be authentified as the realm user.\r
+\r
+<P>Now you should read the <A HREF="authentication.html">tutorial</A> to\r
+setup authentication.\r
