Pat.
I think you hijacked another thread. If you want to create a new thread do so. In answer to your question just implement your own CallbackHandler and pass it to the LoginModule. You can then construct the CB with the url as well the user name and password. I need to access the URL from within a JAAS LoginModule. Does anyone know how to do this? In the documentation, it says that only Name and Password callbacks are provided by Tomcat security realms. I think I need a URL callback to make this work. Any ideas? Thanks, Pat Young
