Learn how to implement a dynamic user interface through user authentication. Authentication is often the requirement for applications with multiple groups of users. Each group may require access to application functionality that may need to be withheld from other groups. The authentication mechanism must validate user credentials and control access to application functionality based on the user's credentials. This article shows how to implement a basic authentication mechanism using OpenLDAP and Tomcat. It compares the OpenLDAP and Tomcat implementation to an OpenLDAP and WASCE implementation. And finally, code examples show the implementation of the dynamic UI using Java code and JSTL.
