JNDI/LDAP Realm password authentication process

           Summary: JNDI/LDAP Realm password authentication process
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0 Final
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: Other
         Component: Unknown
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: pycloux@netcourrier.com


It seems that the JNDI Realm (based upon the SUN/LDAP implementation) is not 
able to authenticate users with digested passwords (using SHA for instance).
If I use a clear text password, everything goes well.

I use the IPlanet LDAP 5.0 server with SHA encryption activated for user 
passwords (I also tried with OpenLDAP and the result is the same).
