Hello,

In my application I have the need for authentication.
What I wish to do is to define users, groups, attach users to groups and
groups to groups, define resources and permits the usage of resources to
groups and users.
I think this can be done with Java security.

What I don't know is how to implement a sign-on mechanism. I wish my
users to supply a user name and a password that my server will verify.
Can I do that with Java security ? Is there any document that describe
what should I do ?

Is there a way to interface with external product like RACF, TOP-SECRET,
MEMKO security product and other ?

Thanks in advance
