Let me re-describe my problem. I log into our secure Netscape web site which uses servlets. I have a link within my secure site that points to a Domino server through a secure reverse-proxy. (same URL, different port). e.g. My netscape site is https://mainsite.com and my domino reverse proxy is https://mainsite.com:4972 Can I use the URLConnection routines to somehow authenticate and then just redirect to that same page that I authenticated with?

Well...the problem is a Domino problem. In order to use JDBC-ODBC to talk to Notes (the NotesSQL product), or the Notes Java classes, you have to have a valid Notes id. If that id is password protected, AFAIK, you *will* get prompted for the password. I have only been able to come up with 2 ways around this: Servers can have 2 id's: one for the server, which should be password protected, and one for client access, which can have limits imposed on what it can do, and doesn't have to be password protected. Also, you can use Domino server agents as "stored procedures" and invoke them from your servlet through a URL (http://my.dominoserver.com/database.nsf/MyAgent?OpenAgent). The agents run with the security of the Domino server, and could be written to return their results in a simplified HTTP/HTML format, that would be easy for your servlet to parse. Both of these approaches are kludgy: I don't think this is the way to go for a large-scale, mission-critical application. Hope this helps. ---------- > From: Jeffrey D.
