Security and authentication is a rather large issue in Servlet framework, with both declarative and programmatic security. Quite a few ways to do it...just poke into any servlet book.
One good place to start is "More Servlets and JavaServer Pages" by Marty Hall. You can jump straight to Chapters 7 and 8, and it should get you going in a few hours. Or read Tomcat documentation, for tomcat specific way... -----Original Message----- From: Iván Escobedo [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, April 08, 2002 3:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: A question about Site Security Hi, my name is Iván Escobedo, I'm a new web site programmer. I'm interested in making a web page that permits a user enter to the site by providing an user login and a password. What do I have to do? to implement or buy? so my site be secured against unexpected possible hackers. In my opinion, i have to encrypt the passwords in the database, but at the web site level, what do i have to do? I'm planning to use the Apache web server, or in this case a java web-based platform like TomCat, what do you recomend? Thank you so much for your cooperation.
