Hello everybody! I have Apache Tomcat 4.0 as Servlet Engine and I would like to to the following thing: when a user tries to connect to my servlet "MyServlet" a window should appear that ask him to insert a login and a password before accessing to the servlet. How can I do this? Must I change some configuration file in Tomcat? Can I use the same solution to protect other web resources (for example the "files" to download)? Thanks a lot in advance!
