Web Server Auth (using DB)

All,

We currently have a NT Oracle Web server which we are using to extract data from a UNIX based Oracle Database. We would like to authenticate users accessing our web site. We are aware that we can use many different web server initiated validation routines (domains, OS password list, etc..), but we need to use the existing UNIX DB password list. We have heard that this is possible with PL/SQL but have not found any examples. We tried using CONNECT, but are either using it wrong or it will not work. Does anybody know if you can authenticate users using an existing DB. Any info/solutions would be appreciated (Java / PL/SQL, etc..).

Thanks in advance,
