You can usually get the user's working directory with
System.getProperty("user.dir")
Alternately,
new File("")
should give you a File object for the working directory.
I'm not sure how you'll use this for authentication, but hopefully that helps...

I believe that he meant Windows Active Directory, with capital "A" and "D". You would use JNDI to access it (at least, according to the FAQ, you can); I'm not sure of the exact details, as JNDI is not my specialty.
