Re: How to trap errors while authenticating user : Custon Authentication mechanism ?

[Erik Fiegel]

That seems like overkill.  Did you try turning up the debug level of 
your Realm?

<Realm   className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JNDIRealm" 
  debug="99999"
    connectionURL="ldap://localhost:389";
         userBase="ou=people,dc=mycompany,dc=com"
       userSearch="(mail={0})"
     userRoleName="memberOf"
         roleBase="ou=groups,dc=mycompany,dc=com"
         roleName="cn"
       roleSearch="(uniqueMember={0})"
/>

Hello,
I'm trying to use a Novell LDAP server, and let it manage the Passwords
instead of my webapp. Unfortunately I've found that the JNDIRealm doesn't
tell me the reason of the failure when authenticating a user.
In this case I cannot know where to redirect in the Novell portal ( Forgot
Password or Password Expired functions - depending on the LDAP exception
captured). since I'm new to authentication in Tomcat, can you tell me what
is/are the best way to start implementing a Custom Realm that return to the
application the trapped exception, in order to redirect to the correct
Novell Function.
Thanks in advance..
