SiteMap/Menu security question

[Noah Nordrum]

I'm assuming that most people here are developing apps that require
security on the VAST majority of their pages, and I was wondering if
there was a relatively simple way to default to requires login (def
MustBeLoggedIn = If(() => User.loggedIn_?, () =>
RedirectResponse(User.loginPageURL)), or whatever), and just flag the
Menu items that don't require login.

Thanks!

SiteMap has a globalParamFunc parameter where you can insert a global
LocParam. I have the following snippet work for me:

LiftRules.setSiteMap(new SiteMap(List({ case r =>
If(() => r match {
case Full(Req("user_mgt" :: _, _, _)) => true
case _ => User.loggedIn_?
}, RedirectResponse("/user_mgt/login"))
}), entries:_*))

I wonder if there is a more efficient to use Groups and LocParams though.

That's an interesting idea.  Can you open a ticket on relating to this thread.  I'll noodle on some partial functions that might allow adding additional LocParams to Locs that have particular matching LocParams (like Group or something else).
