Jacob, I think that you can somewhat achieve this by declaring 'username' and 'password' parameters for your portlet and then set the 'source' parameter as follows: https://${username}:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/myapp/myservlet. Of course, the user would have to customize the portlet to provide their credentials.
