Hi,
I have a problem trying to authenticate users, whose details are
stored in the LDAP directory through Apache Tomcat. The details of the
software I am using are as follows :
LDAP: OpenLDAP V 2.2.17
Web-Server: Apache-Tomcat V 4.1.30
OS: Suse - Linux
The LDAP directory structure is somewhat like this -
dc=my-domain,dc=com
cn= Manager
cn=person1
cn=person2 and so on
In the server.xml file (under APACHE-TOMCAT-DIR/conf/) I have included
he following piece of code -
<Realm className="org.apache.catalina.realm.JNDIRealm" debug="99"
connectionName="cn=Manager,dc=my-domain,dc=com"
connectionPassword="secret" connectionURL="ldap://localhost:389";
roleName="cn" roleSearch="(uniqueMember={0})"
userPassword="userPassword"
userPattern="cn={0},cn=Manager,dn=my-domain,dn=com" />
The folder I have to authenticate is "param_test" and this resides
under "APACHE-TOMCAT-DIR/webapps".
The web.xml file under the "param_test" folder contains the following
piece of code -
..................................
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>test</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>cn</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
<login-config>
<auth-method>BASIC</auth-method>
<realm-name>test</realm-name>
</login-config>
..................................
I have even copied the jndi.jar, ldap.jar files to
APACHE-TOMCAT-DIR/server/lib directory
When I try to access the link, http://localhost:8089/param_test, it
prompts me for the username and password. When I type in these
parameters as per the entries in the LDAP directory, the pop-up
reappears and this goes on continously. If I cancel this pop-up, HTTP
error 401 is returned. Any guesses where I have gone wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sandeep
