Tomcat 4 JNDIRealm Connecting to a LDAP Directory on Domino

[DP...@gtlaw.com.au]

Domino can act as a LDAP server which, in theory, allows Tomcat 4 to use
JNDI Realms to authenticate users via a notes DB. This Notes DB saves users
passwords as encrypted text using a proprietary encryption algorithm.

>From what I have read it seems that for comparing encrypted passwords
JNDIRealms encrypt the password and compare it to the encrypted password on
the server. Problem there is they only support for 3 standards of
encryption, not including Domino's algorithm.

Domino provides the ability to do a ldap compare operation so the password
can be checked on the domino server. Can this be integrated into a
JNDIRealm? If not, can anybody suggest an alternative that will allow us to
take advantage of the realm facility (e.g. JDBCRealms)?

Merry Christmas.
