I uDig we use this code and configure Java to prompt the user for basic
authentication:
-
https://github.com/uDig/udig-platform/blob/master/plugins/net.refractions.udig.ui/src/net/refractions/udig/internal/ui/UDIGAuthenticator.java
Summary: you can register your own "authenitcator" in Java (recommended if you
are using this on the server side without access to a user).
- http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/net/http-auth.html
GeoTools also contains a WFSAuthenticator for this purpose in order to supply
the user name and password connection parameters to the WFSDataStore.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
