Bob,Thanks for the reply. This is the situation that has come down the pipes. We have sun kiosk stations around campus set up as open with just a web browser running. They now want to authenticate users before giving them a kiosk session. This is to cut down the number of non-student types camping out at the kiosk stations. The problem I have is all central user accounts here are stored in Windows AD. The central IT folks will not touch AD. So no NIS UNIX extensions, and no third party app to sync AD with UNIX LDAP server. So only option I have is a web auth tool the central IT folks have for me to use. Hence why I was asking if AMGH could get password info. Is there a way to evoke a AMGH style redirect to a DTU from say my own little Java app that could be run in the kiosk session? My java app would prompt for the user name password and then I can use the web auth tools to authenticate and then redirect to a kiosk server if pass, or a more internet restricted kiosk server if not.

Is there way to get user password info using AMGH?No. That seems like a very bad idea from a security POV. You might almost as well use Kiosk mode, or disable passwords.-Bob _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
