Secure Web Authentication Servlet

From Developer Community

Description

This sample servlet and the new NMAS browser plug-in show how easy it is to allow users to authenticate to your web sites using something besides a password. This new feature adds a level of security because it requires secure authentication from a users biometric or token device attached to their workstation all the way to the back end directory server, instead of just from the web server to the directory server (or workstation to server if using SSL). Couple this with NMAS's ability to do multi-factor and graded authentication and you have a very secure web site.
