Authentication
I have previusly been using the JServ with LDAP user authentication by
the mad_LDAPauth. This
is an apache module.
Now when we are trying to switch over to the tomcat the authenticatin
done by the apache is disabled and tomcat to my knowledge is lacking
LDAP authentiication. As I see it there are two possible roads.
1. Enable again the apache server authentication. How can I do that ??
2. Extend the tomcat with a LDAP authentication module. Where are the
useable plugpoints for this?
My bee there are outher solutions, let me know. The key thing is that if
we are to consider using tomcat in the project we have to get the LDAP
authentication to work.

Can you explain more your thoughts. One of the reasons for the selected
architecture is to avoid authentication functionality in the
application,
instead use the allready existin one in the webserver.

Hi Boris,
I don't know if it is very relevant to you, but why you don't create your own
LDAP authentification servlet? This is not complex at all, most of the
details are in Java JNDI.
What do you think?
