http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3972 JAAS Realm Summary: JAAS Realm Product: Tomcat 4 Version: 4.0 Final Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: Unknown AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Realm features of Tomcat require that I maintain my own list of users and passwords. I would rather just authenticate the users against the Operating System. Also, the roles of these users should come from OS group assignements. I know the features of JAAS (which is built into Java 1.4, or an extension for Java 1.3) will allow you to authenticate the credentials against the Operating System. Why not have a JAAS Realm? - Greg
