You could call the authenticate()-method from Tomcat's FormAuthenticator:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.0-doc/catalina/docs/api/org/apache/catalina/authenticator/FormAuthenticator.html#authenticate(org.apache.catalina.HttpRequest,%20org.apache.catalina.HttpResponse,%20org.apache.catalina.deploy.LoginConfig) However, this will work in Tomcat only, and I'd rather implement a formbased login than to "frickle" (German expression for a quick & dirty solution) my own solution. cheers Gregor -- what's puzzlin' you, is the nature of my game gpgp-fp: 79A84FA526807026795E4209D3B3FE028B3170B2 gpgp-key available @ http://pgpkeys.pca.dfn.de:11371 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
