Is it possible to incorporate the j_username & j_password (used by the servlet "j_security_check") in the request to authenticate the caller and then, grant access to the servlet that i am trying to access ?????
I explain the context:
I have a servlet that allows the caller to download of log files. I can download these logs using my browser, enter the address and then select the log I want.
Now, I want to get these log automatically. I built an external component to perform that (it's a requirement i have). The external component builds the HTTP request and sends it to Tomcat. If the security constraint it commented out, it works perfectely. But if the security constraint is on, it does not work because Tomcat is trying to popup a login page, waiting for username & password.
Then, is it possible to incorporate the j_username & j_password (used by the servlet "j_security_check") in the request to authenticate the caller and then, grant access to the servlet that i am trying to access ?????
