It is not java code. As I stated, I inherited this stuff. In speaking to my co-worker, he basically said that the DNS entry maps to an ASP page that contains the code below and then that value is sent back to my index.jsp page where I grab it via a servlet and validate it through my java code. Working with IIS I found to be a major issue and so on another java app where I do AD authentication, we use the Waffle product and it's fantastic and very easy to get up and running.

It doesn't look like any Java code to me .. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org The information contained in this message and any attachments is intended only for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed, and may contain information that is PRIVILEGED, CONFIDENTIAL, and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
