You probably don't want to do that (even if it's possible, which I doubt), since all code in the webapps would then have access to the credentials. > I'd like to be able to authenticate users without having > to add a <security-constraint> to my web.xml, so that > unauthenticated clients can still connect. URL patterns in the <security-constraint> allow you to control which portions of the webapp are accessible to unauthenticated users. If you want something with finer granularity, a filter is probably appropriate. Take a look at: http://securityfilter.sourceforge.net/ for a popular one. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
