Does that mean that Tomcat treats WIA similar to HTTP BASIC (or maybe
DIGEST) unless you've approved a particular domain/host? That's
interesting. Can you just enter anything you'd like? For instance, can
I authenticate to a server that is expecting WIA from a Linux
workstation just by entering my domain credentials into the dialog?
That certainly sounds nice: the Microsoft Windows crowd doesn't have
to authenticate (explicitly, that is... their credentials are that
they are currently logged-into a machine on the network) but everyone
else can also get in.
