Java Web Start Authentication Option

Question

Well, before you think that this is a simplified request and that it should be there; I did about 2-3 hours of searching without any results. Is there a way to pass authentication information through Java Web Start (javaws) to access a password protected website?

Essentially, I'm working on automatically restarting the javaws application without having to re-implement what javaws does to pull the jar and then run Java in the loaded application. I really tried to find information about this, but no one wants to do the same thing that I do (mainly because if you have authentication, you want someone to authenticate).

The authentication method is basic, and I tried to insert the username / password into the URL to no avail. Any ideas?

[aol] Me too. I found this thread as part of my search for the same. [/ Aol]

The closest I found is this wiki page for JNLP launched a trading application . Excerpts:

javaws -J-Djnlp.client.username=YOUR_LOGIN -J-Djnlp.client.password=YOUR_PASSWORD JNLPURL

I still get the error generated by Java for the application I am trying to use (ATEN KVM-over-IP on the Supermicro motherboard), but I see in JNLP some unwanted parameter that changes with every request.
