Thank you George. I think I need to elaborate my question further. I could bind user and fetch user roles using simple java class. But what I want to implement is JAAS. The problem is based on the information provided in different web sites I can use either LDAP or AD for both authentication and authorization. But I need to decouple authentication and authorization. How can I implement that?
Any help would be appreciated. Sharda On Tue, Sep 15, 2009 at 3:19 PM, George Sexton <geor...@mhsoftware.com>wrote: > AD servers run an LDAP connector.
