Hi,
Protect both servlet and applet's class under the same realm on the web
server. Then the browser will send the same user/password pair for both,
without prompting for them more than once, if the web server will not
request a new authentication prompt.
And being protected, the servlet engine will be able to provide
information about authenticated user, through
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest.getRemoteUser() method.
