Doing Network Authentication

hi all,

i would like to do this in my servelt.

1. User tries a web page (http://<machine name>:<port>/webapp/<servlet>

2. Servlet shows a pop up in the web page asking the user to authenticate himself

3. user gives domain name\user name followed by password

4. authentication happens against the domain and not from database or some stored file like tomcat user file

5. after authentication succeeds he is taken to the proper page.

i have been repeatedly getting info only to do base or form based authentication i would like to do domain level authentication.

is there a setting that can be done in the web.xml so that it authenticates against the domain and not the file.

please help

regards,

Gowri Shankar
