Re: Getting a Java Sign-on Dialog

Hi,

doing authentication by connect to database is not really scalable. Creating an as400 object to authenticate is even worse. Don't do such things. Have a look at java best practices or recent style guidelines.

I have the "iSeries & AS/400 Java at Work" book by Don
Denoncourt (which seems to be a very good 400
reference) and with examples from there I was able to
create a Java app (running from my desktop) that
connects to the as400. Upon connection, it brings up
the Java Sign-on dialog auto-magically which is nice.
But, I was hoping to be able to do something similar
for my server side app by putting similar code in some
Login servlet. The point is that I would like the
as400 to handle the authentication for me if possible,
to eliminate the need for creating user tables. How
can I best accomplish this?
