    Subject: JNDI for authentication ??

Hi,
I'm trying to implement authentication on our project by using already
existing directory services at client sites. The idea is to use JNDI to do
this. Is this possible in JNDI ? For example, irrespective of whether the
site is using Novell, LDAP compliant directory service, NIS, or any other
service that has a JNDI service provider, i should be able to use the same
JNDI API to do userid password mechanism. Is this possible.

Do we have some kind of Java standard for single sign-on applications

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
-- Tony
