Hi,
We need to secure our application with intranet id/password to login.
I enabled application security in WAS but it did not do anything.
Can someone tell me how to do this?

If your LAN is a Windows network then you could try using jCIFS NTLM HTTP authentication.

Hi Maria,

You must declare the pages/servlets you want secure access to, in your
deployment descriptor (web.xml). After that you must map roles you defined in deployment descriptor to roles in your user registry (whatever you have
choosen; ldap, local os etc). If you don't declare anything as secure, than
enabling global security has no effect on your application. If you are using
RAD, check 'security' and 'pages' tabs when editing your deployment
descriptor.

Maria - I believe what you need is a declarative security.....check out more security hardening from Keys Botzum @ http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/techjournal/0512_botzum/0512_botzum1.html

Most importantly check out the reference in the above article to find out simple procedure on "Declarative Security"

Hope this helps,

Cheer's
