Read the FAQ url I sent to the list.
This explains everything.
Basically:
if you are going to do this without using a server that supports
Servlet authentication use the system outlined in the FAQ document.
Otherwise use whatever is in your server documentation.

I got the popup window dispalyed by the browser by sending the
SC_UNAUTHORIZED message.
The problem is that when the user enters the login and password ?? I
should
be checking the contents by which database??
Some one in the newsgroup said that there should be something to be
done at
server side ??
It would be greatful , If you explain the mechanism to me
