Yet another java problem that I can't seem to find the answer to.
I need to find out if there is any way to get the information that was used to
log onto a page. When a user accesses a page on a server that has security
hotjava creates a popup window and prompts the user for id and password. It
then stores that information somewhere and uses it in subsequent connections to
the server. My applet opens several more connections to the server and, to
avoid having the user log on again and again I'd like to get the original
information used and continue to use it. Anyone know where this "data
structure" is and how I can access it from an applet. Or even any alternate
methods I can use for user authentication over multiple connections.
Thanks all,
Guy
