1) In terms of active directory, the roleSearch, in this case, would be a group that the person logging in needs to be a member of. In terms of mine, it would be the "ALL" mailing list for my company. What you need to do, is browse around in active directory's LDAP (I assume that you're doing this against active directory) and find the entry that describes the NT group that you want all of your members to be a member of. CN=tomcat is just part of the DN that identifies that group for the other guy in this thread. 2) K, you need to get to your base directory that contrains users. That could be multiple OU's deep, in terms of active directory, it probably is, you'll probably have 1 layer for say, job sites, and another for Users (hence Users). You'll see if it you browse down your active directory tree... just enter the DN describing the level containing your users. 3) web.xml contains the stuff specific to logging in, so essentially, whatever you use for authentication now, can still be used, as long as the data jibes with what's in your active directory.
Is that User's there a CN or a OU?

I have a couple of ldap books and I'm trying to figure some things out. I can authenticate to AD with known OU's and known common names, but I can't use basic or form authentication and get them authenticated with just a user-id and password. What is: roleSearch="(memberOf=CN=tomcat,CN=Users,DC=[Domain],DC=com)" 1. specifically, what is CN=tomcat ? Is that a role which has been set up in AD? What is: userBase="OU=Users,OU=[My OU],DC=[Domain],DC=com" 2. specifically, what is OU=[My OU] ? 3. What did you put in your web-app web.xml? My AD administrators have not been able to explain our tree structure to me. Either I'm asking the wrong questions, or they don't understand it either. They have given me a copy of the script they used to load it. I'm trying to look thru the script to discover the tree structure. Also, they printed a screen print from their AD administrative tool. It has this sort of structure: Active Directory Users and Computers lubbock.isd Builtin CO Computers Disabled Accounts Elem ForeignSecurityPrincipals HS JH LostAndFound Microsoft Exchange System Object OG System Users Should that tell me what to plug into the OU? I know if I hit the AD with an Administrative name, password and its OU, then I authenticate. For instance "CN=Administratorname,OU=CO,dc=lubbock,dc=isd");. CO stands for central office (in this case.) I know that this administrative name is in the OU=CO. What do I do if my user is not in OU=CO? How do I authenticate when I'm not given the person's specific OU? I don't understand why you're specifying 2 different values for OU? Any help would be appreciated.

A million thank yous! I didn't really understand LDAP until learning (some) about it yesterday, and once I started learning it, your example made perfect sense, and now I can authenticate my users! This rules very much!
