Tomcat/NT Authentication (if needed, with JAAS)

843811Sep 19 2001 — edited Sep 30 2001
I'm running my Servlet/JSP application in Tomcat 3.2.3 on NT. Thinking about moving to Tomcat 4.0.

I searched for information regarding setting up Tomcat with NT authentication and am really confused. There's no decent documentation.

Can somebody please provide clear information?

I want to know how Tomcat's authentication methods (the J2EE web application authentication methods - BASIC, Form based etc) can be mapped to NT authentication. Basically I want the users to login to the web application using their NT domain accounts and passwords.

Tomcat 4.0 talks about Realms, is it something to do with this?

Where does JAAS come into this picture? I read about JAAS but couldn't really find decent information on integrating it with Tomcat.

I downloaded the sample application provided at http://sfg.sourceforge.net, but couldn't get to work. It always fail to login.

Also I got the sample NT login modules from http://free.tagish.net/jaas/index.jsp, I don't know how to integrate them with Tomcat.

I'd appreciate your help.
Thank you very much.
