If you just need to access that information you might want to search around for information on JAAS and the UnixLoginModule.

... also, IBM JAAS has a LinuxLoginModule. http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/j-ibmsecurity.html?ca=dgr-lnxw03BetterJavaSecurity

thanks alot for ur immediate response.

can i use com.sun.security.auth.module.UnixLoginModule --login()

for Basic Authentication . The moment user accesses the login page , will it prompt for user name , password, it should validate those things with Unix system user,password.

if not pls suggest better way, easy way of handling.

awaiting for ur reply.

regards,

bill
