Hi all!
We have an application (hosted with Tomcat) which has to "communicate" with the .NET world, i.e. our web application is integrated in an Asp.Net application hosted by an IIS. So, to connect both we have an Asp.Net Connector on the one side and a Java Connector on the other side. If the user selects something on our application the JavaConnector is called which creates an URLConnection to a specific Asp.Net site. At the moment, the URLConnection is established with an empty username and password because we created a specific IIS user which is always the same for every request. Now, we want to use the integrated windows authentication, i.e. we want to know which user is currently asking. That's why we thought on NTLM authentication or something like that... But we didn't know how to get the credentials in the Java Connector to establish the connection with Asp.Net. What can we do? Is it generally possible to use the integrated windows authentication in Java with IIS and Tomcat? How? Can you give me some tips? Regards, Jacqueline.
