Hi,
Is it possible to pass OS username when making connection to any Database
from Tomcat context.xml?
In theory this should be possible if you are using SPNEGO authentication.
Testing this to figure out what is required to make it work is on the
TODO list. It is likely that some combination of configuration, Tomcat
code changes and application changes will be required.
I think that the term "OS username" should be carefully defined here, along with the
precise circumstances in which this would apply.
Also, connecting to a database using the user-id kind of defeats any kind of db connection
persistence/pooling/sharing at the container level.
If this kind of thing is desired anyway, should it then not be done at the application
level, where you can retrieve the UserPrincipal anyway ?
