This may sound odd, but I want to install a tomcat webserver in front of our proxy server to maintain sessions. Since the proxy server is written in c and uses NSAPI-c commands there is no session support. In the future we will transfer this proxy to a java proxy server but for the time being I just want to have ALL the request go to the login servlet. After the user has been authenticated the request is passed on to the proxy server (with the authentication turned off) and the proxy can than dispatch it to all the other servers (depending on url's and rules in the proxy). Can someone give me a hint or tell me where I can go and look for more information? Thx in advance Ronald -------------------------------------------- All those who believe in telekinesis, raise my hand.
