I believe you can put IIS in front of Tomcat and use IIS to do the authentication. There are windows authentication modules you can use with JAAS and a JAAS realm provided with Tomcat. > Any hints, links, documents about this theme are warmly welcome. http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/jk2/index.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
