if anyone has had any luck getting a tomcat on windows app to work with
cosing?
Hi.
To answer your question directly : no.
But I see 2 things on the cosign website (http://weblogin.org/) :
- there seems to be an "SPNEGO" capability (and Tomcat has an SPNEGO
authenticaton Valve)
- and there seem to be several "plugins" to cosign which would allow a cosign
authentication to be implemented on a front-end Apache httpd server.
So, for the second item, if you were to set up an Apache httpd front-end proxy to your
Tomcat (which you can easily do, even under Windows), then if Apache httpd does the user
authentication, it can pass this user authentication to Tomcat, at the same time as the
original browser request, and that would solve your problem too.
Schema :
browser <--> Apache httpd <--> Tomcat <--> tomcat webapp

cosign authentication
Hope this helps somewhat.
