I'm trying to write a servlet which forwards the request to a page that's normally protected by HTTP authentication, but if the user is logged on to my system the user should be granted access to the protected pages without entering a separate login/password for the protected pages.
Is this the way to go to protect files on a web server (and grant some users, which are verified through my servlet, access) , by the way? Thankyou so far!
