I need to authentificate users in an applet. Now I need to know if it is possible that I can use the windows authentification (win 2k). Or has someone another good Idea for user authentification in an network?

Thanks in advance

your best bet to to have your own login to the system. if you allow your applet to start performing local API calls to determine username etc, your into a world of trouble when it comes to security policies and roll out. your better off maintaining your own list of usernames/passwords or having the username/password varifies at the server...while implies that the user will have to enter them manually anyway.

remember, the simplest solution is always the best :)
