Now that I am looking further into this, I am almost convinced that I don't need Kerberos on the AIX webserver but only in the client (PC that is accessing the pages that are going to authenticate). I don't get the feeling that many people are doing this (just using a keytab file with an AD account and tweaking the conf files on the UNIX box where tomcat is installed). This is the only response so far. Jen

By the way ADS is native windows code so the only option to make ADS run on AIX is thru a Windows Emulator such as WINEhttp://www.winehq.org/download And yes if your ADS library forces Kerberos Authentication thru TC NegotiateAuthenticator valve (such as waffle).. then the answer is yes you will need to accomodate Kerberos Authentication Tokens http://code.dblock.org/single-sign-on-tomcat-negotiate-authenticator-kerberos-ntlm-w-waffleKeep in mind that the majority of ADS Libraries are written for native windows so turn your radar on for1)32bit vs 64bit ADS Deployments 2)Specific .NET Framework implementations (v1 or v2 or v3) for ADS3)Threaded vs non-threaded singleton library dependencies for ADS (keep the other library off the path) //somewhere in your code you have a javax.net.ssl.SSLSessionContext concrete class .. then get the SSLSession with your JSessionIDjavax.net.ssl.SSLSession ssl_session=SSLSessionContext.getSession(JSessionID.getBytes()); //extract PeerPrincipal from your SSLSessionjava.security.Principal principal =(java.security.Principal) ssl_session.getPeerPrincipal();//test Principal for Kerberos if (principal instanceof KerberosPrincipal) { serverName = sun.security.util.HostnameChecker.getServerName((KerberosPrincipal)principal); }http://www.docjar.com/html/api/sun/security/util/HostnameChecker.java.html i would not deploy on AIX and deploy on a windows box..far easier to load ADS Server and ADS client code windows code to test on guys..any suggestions?

So far I have put a request into the windows group to create a user for this verification. I followed the example in the tomcat manual as follows:Create a domain user that will be mapped to the service name used by the Tomcat server. In this how-to, this user is called tc01 and has a password of tc01pass.Map the service principal name (SPN) to the user account. SPNs take the form <service class>/<host>:<port>/<service name>. The SPN used in this how-to is HTTP/win-tc01.dev.local. To map the user to the SPN, run the following: setspn -A HTTP/win-tc01.dev.local tc01Generate the keytab file that the Tomcat server will use to authenticate itself to the domain controller. This file contains the Tomcat private key for the service provider account and should be protected accordingly. To generate the file, run the following command (all on a single line): ktpass /out c:\tomcat.keytab /mapuser tc01@DEV.LOCAL /princ HTTP/win-tc01.dev.local@DEV.LOCAL /pass tc01pass /kvno 0Create a domain user to be used on the client. In this how-to the domain user is test with a password of testpass.I then went into the next section and started to do some configuration on the tomcat server, which right now is a prototype and is an AIX box running 5300-12-04-1119. My question is: does the box need to be configured for Kerberos? If so how does the Kerberos authentication work with tomcat? The above code sent to the windows group creates a tomcat user, should there also be a Kerberos user? How would they work together? Or do they need to? Should they be the same user? The documentation does not address this situation in any way at all except to specify that Kerberos is required on the unix box, it doesn't address AIX specifically ever. I work at a place where the admin team is half way around the world. So each and every request and test is painstakingly long and obscure for the most part. So any and all information I come armed with is the only way to fly. Has anyone succeeded with this on unix or better yet AIX? Any and all information is greatly appreciated.
