JNDI Authentication
Does anyone know what type of authentication Tomcat uses by default to
authenticate to an AD server using the JNDIRealm?
(I haven't specified any particular authentication type on either the
server (AD), or the client (Tomcat 6.0), it's working fine but I'm
wondering
If it's using SASL).
Regards,
Geoff.

authentication
A string specifying the type of authentication to use. "none", "simple",
"strong" or a provider specific definition can be used. If no value is
given the providers default is used.
By default - authentication is null so the code is not called.

Im sorry, I don't understand your response.
I'm writing a Login Module to auth against an active directory server
and know the authentication type is specified by:
Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION
(Which can be something like "simple", for clear text, or SASL, etc)
Presumably the JNDIRealm sets this variable and I'm wondering what it
is. In the Tomcat source code, I can see the following (JNDIRealm.java),
but don't know what the "authentication" is defined as?
if (authentication != null)
env.put(Context.SECURITY_AUTHENTICATION, authentication);

JNDIRealm is based on communicating to an LDAP server. (Which is one way
AD can communicate)
