Yes, I did not find that useful. It is very vague to say the least. If I am
missing something please let me know. I want to use Built-in Tomcat support.
Simplify your life and have a look at Jespa (www.ioplex.com). It is free for testing, and
not expensive for production. Download the Operator's Guide and read it.
It works all in Tomcat and doesn't require any other pieces than itself (*) - and a
Windows domain environment of course.
There are several other ways, but I am not familiar with them.
Any type of web-based "Windows Integrated Authentication" (to give it one of it's many
names) requires that the browser supports it. I can confirm that it works with IE and with
Firefox. I do not know about the others.
(*) Sorry, ooops, it does require a jar from Samba (jcifs.jar). The Operator Manual tells
you that, and where to get it from.

Hi Chris,
I met you at a PERL conference years and years ago along with a bunch
of other people you met. Anyways. Exactly what I am trying to do is
allow folks to use their web browser (I would like to stick with tomcat
7.0.27 on aix 6.1) from their windows workstation and authenticate
against the windows domain. I am hoping this can be accomplished
without creating unix accounts. The permissions for it, page access or
run the tool would reside in the tomcat configuration side, but all
authentification would be from the windows side. If you can tell me
how to do that I would be pretty happy. I cannot find documentation on
how to do it
Did you find this?
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/windows-auth-howto.html
I haven't tested this when Tomcat is on a non-Windows platform. It is certainly
possible for this to work although whether any other pieces (such as samba) are
required and what their configuration might be I don't know. OTOH, it might
just work.
I'll add looking at this to my to do list but it is a long list...
Mark
