[offtopic] Architecture Question

[Laurent Michenaud <lm...@adeuza.fr>]

Hi,
 
We have two tomcat servers.
One is located at our enterprise.
The other is located at our hosting provider.
They can see each other by Internet.
 
We would like to set up an unique authentification system for both
server.
The authentification system will be on the server at our entreprise.
The web applications on both servers will query the authentification
system.
 
What's the best/clean/nice way to do this ?
JAAS ? Web services ? SSL keys ?
 
 
Thanks

JAAS is obviously a good way (the smartest one maybe ? :) )
But using the configuration file with the same authentication 
configuration could be enough...
That is to say using Realm tags in your server.xml config files 
(JDBCRealm or JNDIREalm if you set up LDAP ) are valuable solutions
