re: authentication with ldap after doing an ldap search

[James Black <jb...@ieee.org>]

Our ldap dn is namsid=number,ou=school,o=school

The problem is that the student don't know their namsid, they know their 
uid.

I need a way for tomcat to first do a search, looking for anything where 
uid=netid (which is what the student passed in), then use that entries 
dn to bind and verify the password that was also entered.

Is there anyway to do this in Tomcat?

I have the authentication working if the person known their namsid, but 
few people will as it is used internally.

Thank you.
