intranet authentication with win2k

["Mangi, Rick" <ri...@zcmgroup.com>]

Greetings tomcat users! 

This question is 1/2 tomcat 1/2 apache. I'm developing an intranet site. The
users logon with NT authentication onto our local network. The intranet is
running tomcat/apache on solaris. I'm wondering if anyone has a solution for
authenticating these users on the intranet without them having to log onto a
separate system. I know there is an apache module for tying apache
authentication to NT security (and I assume it's easy enough to pass this on
to tomcat). But we're thinking of moving to the win2k "native security"
system which I know nothing about. 

has anyone tackled this before? Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Rick

I'm not as familiar w/ NT security either, but it sounds like (from a Java
programming standpoint) the getRemoteUser() method is your best bet.  If I
remember correctly, it returns the username *if* the user has logged in (in
this case through NT security) or null otherwise.
