Marcus,
Thanks for your response. Let me elaborate on 1st question -
Need to authenticate users either using NTLM or SSL based on whether is user
in domain or not. Can we implement our own auth-method in login-config in
web.xml ? Part of the requirement is to make shared/single-sign-on across
web applications.
