Windows logon taglib

Windows logon taglib ver. 1.2

Custom JSP taglib for client-side authentication. Taglib lets you work with user's Windows public credential using an ActiveX control built into Microsoft's IE. For example:

1) pass Windows User Name as a parameter for request:

<%@ taglib uri="taglib.tld" prefix="w" %>

<form name="myform" ...>
...
<w:saveUserName formName="myform"/>
...
</form>

and when you submit this form to your servlet or JSP page you can read User Name as request.getParameter("WindowsUserName")

2) redirect non-logged users:

<%@ taglib uri="taglib.tld" prefix="w" %>

<w:ifUserUndefined redirect="your_page_here"/>

Note: this taglib works with IE 5+ in Windows (9X, 2000, XP).
