Is there any way to know that a particular credential(user name & password) can authenticate cdo server without actually authenticating it?

Currently I know of no other way than trying to open a CDOSession and see whether that succeeds or not. If your code
runs on the server you could use the repository.getSessionManager().getAuthenticator() to authenticate a user without
actually opening a session for him. Of course you could write your own small Net4j protocol to make that accessible from
a client. Then you would probably want to use DiffieHellman.Server and DiffieHellman.Client to avoid network transfers
with clear text passwords.
