I thought I tried that but I'll give it another go. Won't this mean that the user's realm groups (security groups from active directory) won't be loaded then? If tomcat doesn't do the authentication via the filter I would assume that would be the case. That won't work for me if it is true. The application I have is an employee portal. I want the user to not have to log in to be authenticated. I have this working perfectly in WebLogic but I'm exploring a possible move to JBoss. I use the user's groups to avoid displaying certain sections of the portal. gave it another go:
Okay so I took out the filter from the web app and set the "Integrated Windows Security" to on for the site and the redirector directory. I've got the tomcatAuthentication=false set in the AJP 1.3 Connector element in the server.xml. <Connector port="8009" address="${jboss.bind.address}" debug="99" emptySessionPath="true" enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" protocol="AJP/1.3" tomcatAuthentication="false" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="15" /> This let me into the app but with a blank getRemoteUser() value. Obviously not what I need.
