I want to use an html form and servlet combo to take a userid and password and pass it to some authenticating service (like CICS on the mainframe; I have that capability now) and get back a "user is validated" type of response. Then can I drop a cookie and redirect to other plain html forms and CGI type applications which will read the cookie previously dropped and pick up the fact that the user is validated? Then I can put out other type of ODBC web apps that have been done in the past but now use CICS security to allow access to them. Is this a logical scenario? I would also like to use NT challenge-response for domain wide validation. I know there are sources for authentication so I will refer to them. (Unless someone has other (read easy) methods for this.
