Does anybody know if there is a high-level cocoa wrapper to access
netinfo via java/cocoa?
NIInterface.framework is private and therefore not really very usable.
That might be what you're looking for, though.
I'm trying to build an application based authentication system. In my
understanding of NetInfo as Directory Service it should be possible to
authenticate a user/host/application-combination. But how can I access
these Informations using Java?
There's also Security.framework, which might be what you're looking for.
There's an article about it on Stepwise at
http://www.stepwise.com/Articles/Technical/2001-03-26.01.html . I'm
currently trying to wrap it up into a nice Obj-C class. It's all C API
calls, so you'll need to use the java bridge if you want to call it from
within your Java app.
