Oracle Webserver Authentication

Hello,

I have written a webapplication in pl/sql and I have to know which user is accessing the webapplication.

Moreover in our intranet is a Netscape Fasttrack Server which also work as an authentication server. This means, if a user wants to use a webapplication of the fasttrack server he has to fill out his login and password (401 http header).

Now I want to use this authentication part for the oracle webserver, but I don't have access to the user/pwd database and we have more than 3000 users.....

I have a few ideas to solve this problem....

1. Using the netscape Fasttrack server as a listener on the oracle webserver. But how?
2. Creating a dummy CGI application on the fastrack server, which sends after the authentication the REMOTE_USER to my oracle webserver.

Does anybody has a idea how I can use the authentication from the Netscape Webserver for my Oracle Webserver?

Thanks in advance,
Stefan

PS: I use the Oracle Webserver 2.1
