I intend to develop web based security authentication for all platform
in my company. The idea is like this. I have already built an
authentication server using specific port. This server using will be
used as authentication server for all future software development in our
company.
So consider this, as we see in ordinary website if you enter and
username and password, it would be easy for the website administrator to
capture the username and password.
I do consider applet or active X could do it for me, so all the pages
would have the same applet form for login. If user enter the username
and password, the applet itself will communicate with the authentication
server and pass the result to webpages whether the user is authenticated
or not. The webpages (php, jsp or asp) could be only be notified the
user is authenticated or not, but they are not able to capture the
password filled by users.
Does anyone have any idea of this ? I am new to applet, so I will really
appreciate if anyone can give me some inputs.
