Would it be possible to use the built-in security of your servlet container?  We use SSL and basic authentication to control access to servlets running under Netscape Enterprise Serverr (iPlanet), relying on the security of the webserver.  Unless you want to access security parameters such as userid, no change to the servlet should be required.

Hi,
 
   im a newbie with security issues and posting to this list cos the security list doesnt have ANY members!!! i have to create some kind of a security framework (2 - way authentication between a web page client <-> java servlet) for an existing java servlet (pretty big one at that!!). i realise that i have issues like export laws(im in India) regarding digital certs and all...  I have the following questions:
 
1. Can i obtain a digital signature from a CA and access my servlet using a shttp url?  i plan to use JSSE for enabling usage of a shttp url... and the java.security classes....
 
2. my servlet is using http request and response objects to send/receive data.. using JSSE means porting all that code to sockets since JSSE is providing extensions for sockets?... i hope im right, if im not someone please correct me...
 
3. What else can i do? can i do this using some options in my HTTP header itself?
