We have an applet that creates a hastable to hold the INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY and, PROVIDER_URL. We then create an initial context. An Orion login screen comes up. If I put in the correct user/pwd all is fine. If I put in a wrong user/pwd, we get a Security Exception, as expected. If we try to get the context again with correct information, Orion ignores all new entries, and seems to use only the first one entered. Does anyone know how to try again? I get the same behavior if I populate the Principal/credentials in the enviroment hashtable. thank you mike -- ############################################################## Michael Weissman e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Clarent Corporation 303-734-5003 Fax 303-734-4244 1221 W.
