The Tomcat examples/documentation shows how to do this fairly well: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/realm-howto.html#JNDIRealm
I've had to do some tweeks of this in the past to work with our freakn' wierd LDAP configuration (again, entirely my own fault).
There is the JNDI taglibrary, which could be used in conjunction with an LDAP server to determine if a user could bind to an LDAP server, but I wouldn't recommend using it for that specifically, thats what JNDIRealm is primarily for.

Hi -
I am just beginning to use the JSTL and my first project is redoing our company's intranet. Currently we use LDAP to provide authentication. This is done via a .htaccess file in the root of the site and the LDAP mod for Apache.
I would like to convert this to either a Tomcat realms configuration or (even better) a JSP login page that communicates with the LDAP server. Does anyone have any advice (ideally with code samples) about how to do this? Do the JSTL taglibs have some kind of LDAP support built in or are there other taglibs that provide this kind of functionality? I haven't had much luck with my syntax in the <Realm /> section of the server.xml.
Thanks in advance!
