Hi,

i test this on our demo server (http://apps.dhis2.org/dev) and this works fine:
$.post(’/dev/dhis-web-commons-security/login.action?authOnly=true’, { j_username: “admin”, j_password: “district” })

Is the request coming from the same server? remember that x-domain auth is not supported by default

That depends on what you want to do. That approach uses a apache/nginx authenticating proxy, and not JS.

It is possible to get around x-domain issues in JS using CORS [1] also (but not available in all browsers/versions).

Without knowing more of the setup, its hard to decide what is the best approach.

I think the point is that it is not the same server (it is several different servers)

Ok, so one should probably delegate one server to be the “proxy” server, and this one will have different endpoint to the differents servers, and these will all be authenticating using the Authorization header.

(Are you still with John? he has a nginx setup for something similar)
