[omniORB] Http Authentication with C++ Sockets.

[jlou512]

I?m trying to connect a C++ client to a Java server on a remote host. Using
OpenSSL is not an option for me, so I am wondering if there is a way to use
Http socket authentication with OmniOrb (or if I even need to). I am using
Sun?s naming service, which is also running on the remote host and the
server is implemented using Java RMI-IIOP. The setup has worked fine
locally, but when I ported the server and orbd over to the host, I OmniORB
caught some BAD_OPERATION exceptions. The remote host uses http
authentication and I connect a test Java RMI-IIOP client to the server by
opening a http socket and supplying the username/password. Does anybody know
if I can do the same thing with OmniORB?

What does the RMI-IIOP client actually do? Does it tunnel the requests
over http? omniORB doesn't have any kind of http transport, so I think
you're out of luck.
