 The WebLogic LDAP realm has been tested against the following LDAP servers:
    * OpenLDAP
    * iPlanet Directory Server
    * Microsoft Site Server


I would like to get a similar Tomcat link to show to my boss.

JNDIRealm is jakarta-tomcat-catalina for tomcat5, 
jakarta-tomcat-4.0/catalina/ for tomcat4

I recommend more exploration before accepting an error code2 as a valid 
login. Its a kluge around the MS's ldap implementation and such a kluge 
probably won't make it back into the source tree. I have seen problems with 
respect to JNDIRealm and MS with respect to commas, or other weird characters 
in the DN with respect to escaping. (I don't remember any more details, it is 
to horrifing an experience to recall) There might also be a Bugzilla report 
with respect to it.

JNDIRealm source code - (was: Re: Tomcat vs Bea WebLogic)

Posted by Davi Leal <da...@leals.com>.
Hi,

I am using tomcat 4.1.27, Java sdk-1.4.1_02 and JNDIRealm to use the Micro$oft 
Site Server service to authenticate our webapps.

I get an "error code 2" exception (Protocol Error) only when the user and the 
password is right. That is to say, when an OK is expected. I am thinking 
about modify the JNDIRealm to support that Micro$oft returned 'code', instead 
of raising an exception. It looks easy :) . You can see below the appointed 
catalina log.

Can you supply me any URL, CVS repository, or whatever which points me to the 
JNDI source code?.

I have read the JNDI API I must use is the one included in Java sdk 1.4.2.

Last question: Can we solve the 'M$ protocol' issue just using Tomcat 5.0?.

Regards,
Davi Leal

I have gotten JNDIRealm to work against iPlanet. I have heard others get it 
working against:
- Active Directory (I personally had problems due to some IT policies)
- Novell
- OpenLDAP

But in the worst case - the code is open for change so creating a custom 
Realm should be simple if one understands JNDI programming. Which is what I 
had to do with respect to ActiveDirectory and wacky business rules vs domain 
setup.
