You can't. You will have to write native code to do this as it's inherently platform specific. Having said that, Java 1.4.2_02 released recently does include support for NTLM authentication without prompting the user for their password so if you can work out how they did that and find a way to take advantage of it with pure Java it would make a superb addition to the contrib package. Personally, I haven't revisited the problem since 1.4.2 came out so I can't shed too much light on it. > > thanks > Russell Thamm Regards, Adrian Sutton. ---------------------------------------------- Intencha "tomorrow's technology today" Ph: 38478913 0422236329 Suite 8/29 Oatland Crescent Holland Park West 4121 Australia QLD www.intencha.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
