Re: Tomcat and Active Directory/LDAP (Multiple Domains) (LDAP Newbie)

[Tim Funk]

I had to roll my own Realm loosely based on JNDIRealm. Working with Active 
Directory, especially the way it was deploy, was so painful that regressed 
most of the details.

I am guessing you have 4 different domains under and more generic domain. For 
example:
ad.funkman.net
westcoast.ad.funkman.net
eastcoast.ad.funkman.net
europe.ad.funkman.net
asia.ad.funkman.net

All my userid's are unique on samaccount. So to authenticate, I ask 
ad.funkman.net for the user. Of course - no one reside on ad.funkman.net os 
it issues me a referal to one of the other domains. I follow the referral and 
perform the authentication. I'd show some code - but can't. I'd have to 
recommend google for more details on implementation.

Hi all
 

I have a need to validate users that may exist in one of 4 Active Directory
Domains for a web-app running on Tomcat 5.x/Apache 2.x. 

 

What's the best way to accomplish this?
 

I have read the following thread -->
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg130900.html
which is a good start, but doesn't address the issue of multiple domains.
 

I also see that the JNDI tutorial is something I should read thoroughly at
--> http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Programming/jndi/
 

Is there anyone who has already solved a similar problem out there or has
some brilliant idea that will help me out?
