Re: Tomcat Authenticates to AD. How do I access AD variables?

[Tim Funk]

All their data? Do you mean the attributes of the user as stored in Active 
Directory? If that is the case - tomcat (or any servlet container) doesn't 
provide this functionality. But you can "easily" look it up via some JNDI 
calls since you know the name of the user.

My web-app/web.xml fires off a form for authentication when my web-app

fires off.
 
In my opening .jsp, how can I get user data from Active Directory?
 
For instance, how would I retrieve their Surname, firstname, and e-mail
address from AD using my .jsp after Tomcat has authenticated them?
 
getRemoteUser gives me their login id, but I don't know how to get to
all their data since I don't know the path along which Tomcat found them
and authenticated them.
