Java Security

Hi there,

I'm trying to run the simple authentication inside a Servlet and I'm getting a security exception:
"unable to instantiate LoginConfiguration".
I have the same code working from a stand-alone application.
I read on that there is a problem with jdk 1.3 and JAAS 1.0, so I did what they recommend to put the jaas.jar and login module jar on the classpath, I did and didn't work.
I found also that the jdk 1.4 would fix this problem, installed and I still have the problem.

Any help would be very appreciate.

Thanks in advance,

Marcio Adriano
