LLCookie and Servlets/JSP?

Good morning.We're working on a project that requires knowing the user as logged into Livelink. However, the LLCookie seems to be encrypted (per prior conversations on here) by a mechanism that's IP-dependant - meaning that a servlet that obtains the cookie can't decrypt it to a useable value.I was wondering if anyone around here has had any success (or has any ideas) as to how to decrypt the cookie so we might proceed. Turning off encryption from the server is not an option for us.Thanks!Theodore CasserVISION Digital Library TeamContract Support - NCIUS Army Aberdeen Test Center

It is always an added security risk. What you may like to try is to create your own cookie that contains the user name/password and that can be decrypted by the servlet. This probably won't work with the single sign on module.

If you use Directory Service with Authentiofication then you can use REMOTE_USER that is the username of the Livelink user .......
