Authenticate user with Java API's?

852668Apr 21 2011 — edited May 11 2011

Hi,
I have a server program written in Java, it accepts requests from client apps and has to authenticate the users credentials.

Currently we use JNI to access the platform specific libraries (PAM on Linux, SSPI/NTLM on Windows, etc...). I've done quite a bit of searching and haven't found anything but I thought I would ask if anyone knows of any packages available (in Java itself, open source or commercial - can not be GPL or LGPL) that can perform these tasks (preferably 100% java but JNI wrapper code is fine too)?

Specifically the SSPI/NTLM code is a bit convoluted so I would ideally like to replace that code, in case you know of something specific to Windows.

Thanks in advance!

jim
