JSP/J2EE app authenticate automatically?

C

Chris

We've got a JSP-based application running on an intranet.

Is is possible to authenticate users automatically, without making them
log in?

Somehow I want the client browser to tell us that the user has
successfully logged in, and tell us his user id. We'll then hit some
central server, maybe using LDAP, and find his role. Then we'll know
what he's allowed to see.

I could just have a login page, but would like to skip this step. We'll
get greater usage if we don't make users jump through this hoop.
