Hey,
I'm looking at authenticating in two ways:
1. Authenticate directories using normal .htpasswd stuff..fine.
2. Authenticate from a login form for access to certain servlets
etc... fine using something along the lines of Hunter's
LoginHandler / Protected Resource servlet examples.
With JServ/Servlets is it possible to perform both at once.
For example... can a form be made where the user logs in and
they are authenticated in both the session (for other servlets)
and also it causes them to have logged in automatically for
any .htaccess directories? I just don't know if/how it can
be done and I'm relatively new to it all.
Thanks for any help anyone might have.

PS: Solaris/JServ combo, Apache 1.3.6, htpasswd version 2.0
The Application Spam :)
The system is intended to run on a college server where I am
writing a bunch of facilities where lecturers can access
database student records, create assessments, mailing lists etc.
At the same time I want to write a facility where lecturers can
protect certain lecture notes directories via a html form, without
any knowledge of .htpasswd etc. Ie. the form/servlet writes the
.htpasswd/.htaccess files.
Certain students/lecturers will be able to view certain directories
as well as use certain servlets etc. I don't want everyone to have
to log in twice for documents and servlets. So I'm essentially
looking for a way that when people come to our intranet they log
in once at the login page (which is automatically called if they
try to access protected servlets/html) and it authenticates them
for both that session and for document directories (.htaccess) on
our intranet. If anyone who has read this far can think of a better
way I'd be very interested... again I'm pretty new to this stuff.
