I would like to use the HTTP basic authentication for a webapplication using JAAS . I am not able to figure out as to how to write the CallBackHandler to invoke the browser pop-window/use the Basic Authentication of HTTP to get the user name and password.

I know there is a DialogCallBackHandler in jdk1.4 but i am looking at something in jdk1.3.1. I did read some articles stating that it is possible.

Any help is appreciated.

thanks

if you already have captured the user name and password (via web form, applet params, or awt etc.) you can use something like this:


Authenticator.setDefault( 
			new Authenticator()
			{
				protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() 
				{
					return new PasswordAuthentication( strUser, strPassword.toCharArray() );
				}
			});
