Is anyone aware of any J2EE server that provides for user authentication
via LDAP to control access to "protected" Web apps (as defined in the
Web.XML)?

The only one I've checked is JRun, which does not provide that as a
built-in option but does provide a hook to specify an alternate
authenticator if you're willing to write your own authenticator class.
(JRun would then do the hard part, which is intercepting all requests
for "protected" pages and maintaining the user's login status.)

How about BEA, WebSphere, or iPlanet? Or has some JRun user written the
necessary class for that server to use LDAP?

If we get that far, has anyone worked out an LDAP schema they like for
holding group, role, etc. attributes that are used by JAAS?

TIA,
Martin
