Hi!

I've implemented a simple custom realm that I use in Tomcat 5.0.28. But
instead of doing the authentication in the authenticate method in my realm
I'd like the actual authentication to be conducted by a another servlet that
takes username and password as parameters. So basically what I'd like to do
is to just to pass the username and password entered by the user when the
"login popup window" (http basic authentication) pops up to the
authentication servlet by redirecting the user to that URL with those
parameters. My realm should always accept the username/password since the
actual authentication takes place somewhere else. Is this possible, and in
that case where do I start?

Thanks in advance,
Johan
