Getting a Java Sign-on Dialog

[Ivan Hurtado <iva030@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am in the early design/architecture phase of an
AS400 Server Side web app, and I am trying to make a
decision on our authentication strategy. I have never
developed Java using an as400 as the server, so please
bear with me.

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?

Thanks,
