login-jsp-path
> - The path to the jsp file that presents the login page. Note that the path is relative to the Web application. This means that "WEB-INF/login.jsp" resolves to (assuming the default location of Tomcat and a Web application named "sample") /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/sample/WEB-INF/login.jsp and "/WEB-INF/login.jsp" resolves to /WEB-INF/login.jsp. Also note that the tomcat user must have at least read access to this file.login-servlet-path
> - The path to the servlet that authenticates a user attempting to get to the Viewpoint application. This URL must be visible to any given Web browser. Default is /login.app-jsp-path
