The following link has a diagram that shows how it works. If a user hasn't yet authenticated, they are redirected to a separate server that displays a login page. Then, once the user has authenticated correctly, they are redirected back to the original Web application. http://www.pubcookie.org/docs/how-pubcookie-works.html I'm wondering if anyone knows if it would be possible to implement this in Tomcat as a Realm? Or, would it be more complicated than that since it does a redirect?
