Hello everyone,
I am using Tomcat-4.0.4 on NT4. I would like to do an NT authentication and I am not sure where to start.
Any help, pointers, etc. will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Lana.

What is an NT authentication? Is it like using basic or form based authentication in a web app using JSP?

Well, what I would like to do is grab user id from NT login and place it as a variable in a query in my JSP page.

In that case why do you need authentication for your JSP since you rely on NT Auth. as long as someone logged into NT you are OK.

Vedhas, please try to reduce the contractions in you posts. It just reduces understanding

Dave.

Unfortunately I am not "ok". NT login ID matches an ID in one of the user tables. I need to prepopulate the form with user information by recognizing him in this manner: extract NT id, put it into a variable and query the user table where user_id = 'StringNTid';
Thanks for everybody's input.
Lana.

Sorry David.But my boss roams around these days So i try to keeps the messages short & sweet.
Zac Have u tried it with different NT machines?Because i think that the user.name() returns the name of the machine on whose JVM the code is currently running.We tried it but didnt work for us.Different machines ,that is.

I did not try it on different machines yet but that is also a good point...
