title: Windows Authentication for Java Based web applications, How to?
body: <p>I have a couple of Java-based web applications developed. Both the applications have separate Authentication logic based on some ActiveX directory implementation.</p>
  
  <p>Now, I need to change this to Windows authentication so that whenever the user hits the URLs of my web applications, instead of redirecting him to login page I need to check his Windows credentials.</p>
  
  <p>I do not want to store his windows credentials in URL.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any good way to do this ?</p>
