Description

Taken from wastl-nagel's comments on NUTCH-827

the form authentication is global and ignores <authScope>. So you have to restrict your crawl to the form authentication pages only. Ideally, also form authentication should be bound to a scope (one host, one URL prefix, etc.) same as HTTP authentication.
