User authentication in multi repositories

[Acácio Furtado Costa <Ac...@magnesita.com.br>]

We would like to know, if it is possible for an application to authenticate users in multiple LDAP Services. For instance, one sub-group of users will authenticate on  our corporate domain (Active Directory) and  another sub-group (clients, supliers) in other repository (ADAM- Active Directory Application Mode, NDS, etc).

 

Can anyone give us a direction to look at, or point us to some information.

 

Thanks

"An application," perhaps. ;)
"Tomcat's JNDI-based Realm, out of the box," likely no.

This thread came up a few weeks ago.  You can search the archive for
details; the highlights boiled down to: sync'ing up your AD setups[1] or
writing custom code.

[1] = I'm not an AD expert; but I understand one offered solution
involved creating some sort of "master" AD instance that delegated to
the others on the backend.
