apache and password areas...?

[Patric Lichtensteiger <pl...@wbe.ch>]

hi there,

as much as i know, i can use .htaccess and .htpasswd to create some password secured areas which are managed by the apache server. but how can i check (with a servlet or jsp), who's logged in and who's not? can i handle some user settings like an account with these methods...?

hope that anyone could help me...
thanx

Check the environment variable: REMOTE_USER This variable holds the the
username as the value. If this
is not set, then the visitor has not been authenticated.
