Hello mridu,

 In fact it's quite easy. You should configure tomcat to serve your pages
via (HTTPS): this means that any data, including credentials, going from/to
the server and client will be encrypted.

 If you don't need or don't want to use HTTPS, there are other ways for
authentication like, for example, NTLM. (see jcifs project)

 Hope this helps,
 Miguel Figueiredo
