Ok I found where it is being used in the getRoles method however I'm still wondering why it doesn't work. I don't see any way to define the member group attribute name, it is uniqueGroup in the dir server I am connecting to.

After authenticating I only get the role/group that the user is a direct member of, it doesn't return the role/group that the group is a member of. I downloaded the source of org.apache.catalina.realm.JNDIRealm and the roleNested attribute is never used except in the setters and getters. Seems like it is being ignored. Is this feature available in tomcat 6? The docs say it is but it doesn't seem to work. Thanks, Travis
