JSP Form-Based Authentication - - - Java Noob

Hi guys,

I am having trouble understanding how this works. Where would the usernames and passwords be stored? Does anybody have detailed information about this a link or something to help a newbie get started. I am trying to make a simple but secure java login page for the users of my website. I will also have a registration system. I have already looked at this site.

Thank You,

Joe

The passwords and usernames would be stored on the Server? Are you asking where on the server? What about in a database? Is that what you are asking?

Exactly, in these tutorials it does not show how or give any examples of storing the usernames in any database or XML file. I am looking to use a MYSQL database. Thank you for the fast reply.

That is because it doesn't matter to the example. Do it however you want.

That should work fine.

Do you have any links that would get me started on how to authenticate against a MySQL database? Or how to add users and passwords? Thanks

I would normally send you here. But the jdbc basics link seems to go in a loop?

Does anyone else have the link?

And don't forget to store the passwords encrypted on the database.For instance, http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/javax.crypto/DesString.html
