Tomcat and LDAP Server Implementation

[Boris Unckel <bo...@gmx.net>]

Hello,

I had a look at directory.apache.org but this is much too heavy weight for
my application.

Currently we have nightly batch runs to pump the user data into an LDAP
Server (currently IPlanet, but could be OpenLDAP or some other LDAPv3
Server). The disadvantage is, that allowing/denying a new product for a
customer or allowing/denying a new function requires the batch run and cost
one day.

We want to implement a LDAP Server (*not* connect as client to an existing
server using LDAP) as bridge between a specific Tomcat application and our
propietary authorisation services.
The application does not offer to implement their existing interfaces for
authorisation and does not allow to configure another implementation of the
existing interfaces. The application is offering an implementation which
uses LDAP as protocol.

Is Tomcat the correct place to look for an solution (LDAP looks much like
http to me) ?

Does someone have experience implementing an LDAP server in Tomcat?
Is there a good documentation about LDAP server implementation in common
(Google did not return something useful)? Is there a special (public)
documentation about Tomcat and LDAP server? (again not working as a client
using an existing server!)

Regards
Boris
