How do I access Windows credentials from Java?

How do I (or can I?) retrieve the cached credentials for the currently logged-in Windows user in Java? I want to reuse these credentials in some other GSS-API calls. Specifically, I'm answering an SPNEGO challenge from IIS.

Thanks.

If IIS has Integrated Windows Authentication turned on, then you can still access the protected page by using the http://spnego.sourceforge.net/api/net/sourceforge/spnego/SpnegoHttpURLConnection.html class. This open source project's "credential delegation" tutorial also uses the SpnegoHttpURLConnection class.

assuming you are using JAVA 5:

com.sun.security.auth.module.NTSystem NTSystem = new com.sun.security.auth.module.NTSystem();
System.out.println(NTSystem.getName());

here is some info on the subject
