Hi,
I am brand new to tomcat 7 and am hoping to get realms set-up for users to use my CGI scripts
you are aware that to run CGI scripts, tomcat may not be the best choice ?
What is the programming language of your CGI scripts ?
using their windows password. So far I have put a request into the windows group to
create a user for this verification.
Well, if your workstations are running Windows in a Windows domain, then you should not
need a special user for that, it should work with yours (or whomever is logged-in). The
point is to have the server authenticate the logged-in user automatically and
transparently, no ?
I followed the example in the tomcat manual as follows:
Which Tomcat manual ?
If you are talking about this :

then it seems to me that this mechanism implies that your Tomcat server is a Windows host.
Did you not mention AIX ?
* 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:
If you determine that you do need Tomcat for this, and you are not under Windows, then I
suggest that you have a look at Jespa, at http://www.ioplex.com.
It is not either open-source nor free, but it works (on any Java platform) and it is
really not expensive. (I have no commercial interest in it, I just use it).
