Well, anything is possible if you want to put enough work into it :). And this one is pretty high on the work-scale. You'd need to implement your own custom Authenticator that desides wether to delegate to FormAuthenticator or to BasicAuthenticator. The downside is that you are locked into Tomcat (and probably even a specific version of Tomcat). I don't know the specs for your project, but if possible, I'd probably try to split it into two webapps and use SingleSignOn. > Thanks > Ilari --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
