Ramesh,
Thanks a lot for your quick reply. In effect that is what I want.
But how to do that? If you are accessing html/perl files from a dir where
you have .nsconfig, then the server automatically authenticate the user. You don't
have to write any code. But if you are calling a JSP - for example
"http://www.yourhost.com/YourApplication/Test.jsp" then "YourApplication"
dir doesnot reside under the server htdocs dir. Even you have the .nsconfig file
in the "YourApplication" dir. it does not do any authentication. It may be because
the .jsp files communicate with webserver through servlet engine like
Jrun.
Thanks, Sham
